In that case, I think it would be worthwhile to add this to
iMesh_extensions. How do people feel about iMesh_getAllIfaceTags as the
name? (iMesh_getAllTags would be preferred, but it's in use).

If this ever went into the official spec, I'd probably suggest that the
names be like so:

  iMesh_getAllTags: get all tags on any ent/set in the mesh
  iMesh_getAllEntTags: get all tags on a given ent
  iMesh_getAllEntSeTtags: get all tags on a given set
