 Replying to [comment:11 wordpresssites]:
 > How about adding a 'post_type' and 'category' argument to `get_tags()`
 or `get _terms()` or  `get_categories` so tags can be listed for different
 post types or categories? The only way to do that now is to use the
 include or exclude parameters.

 The technical explanation for 'post_type' can be found [comment:7 in my
 comment above]. I'm not sure what 'category' would mean in this context:
 show all tags that belong to posts that are also in a given category? That
 kind of query would be even *more* resource-intensive than the 'post_type'
 query - I think that about 7 database tables would be involved. That kind
 of use case is specific enough that I think that a custom implementation
 using 'include' is probably the most appropriate.

 I'm going to close this ticket again, as I think that the reasoning from
 comment 7 still stands. If anyone is able to work up a way of handling
 this so that it has a reasonable chance of scaling, please feel free to
 reopen with those details.
