I'm asking this because sincerely it doesn't make sense. If I tag my question with [shell], whatever I'm asking is either, about several shells or is valid on any shell. Then why would I want to use something more specific, even though I'm not using a bash-ism, zsh-ism or weirder? Now, this seems to be the view of other posts when several intrinsically related tags are concerned:

In all cases, try to avoid just throwing a bunch of related tags onto the question.

which makes sense. Why would I use [bash] [zsh] [tcsh] [shell] [ksh] to write an generic for-loop, or using cd, or something more generic? Is there a valid use of several shell tags?
