[Boost-build] Question regarding <tag> rules

From: Daniel Einspanjer (deinspanjer_at_[hidden])

In test/tag.py, the test tag rule in invoked using the __name__ variable. 
e.g.
exe a : a.cpp : <tag>@$(__name__).tag ;
lib b : a.cpp : <tag>@$(__name__).tag ;

Why is this?  I originally wrote the invocation of my tag rule as
exe test : test.cpp : <tag>@brand

And it *seems* to work just fine...
