+/* This patch allows you to change the names of tags during runtime.
+ *
+ * This is a bespoke version implemented specifically in relation to tagicons, which is integrated
+ * into dwm-flexipatch. By default it uses dmenu to retrieve the new name, but this can be
+ * customised via config along with the maximum text length and the format string.
+ *
+ * Special behaviour:
+ * - if more than one tag is selected then the name change applies to all selected tags
+ * - if tagicons is configured to have unique tags per monitor then the change only applies
+ * for the current monitor
+ * - the name change applies to the tag set that is active for the current tag:
+ * * if used in combination with BAR_ALTTAGSDECORATION_PATCH and there are clients on the
+ * given tag then the name change only applies to the ALT_TAGS_DECORATION tag set
+ * * if used in combination with the BAR_ALTERNATIVE_TAGS_PATCH and alternative tags are
+ * shown then the name change only applies to the ALTERNATIVE_TAGS tag set
+ * * if used in combination with both then BAR_ALTTAGSDECORATION_PATCH takes precedence
+ * * otherwise the name change applies to the DEFAULT_TAGS tag set
+ *
