Could I request that this trivial change be added at some stage please.  It
introduces the ability to include a tag in hosts.cfg which has no purpose
other than provide an arbitary reference. eg

configdbid=12345
I don't understand the request. Isn't this function already here? I do this now with tags I've introduced into the hosts.cfg files for outside reference or ext scripts.

If you append the following to the end of a host line:
   configdbid:12345
don't you get exactly the behavior you seek? (Provided configdbid is not defined in protocols.cfg)
