Just after I sent the last reply, I went to change to filtering in the
view. Then I realized why I didn't want to.
This loop is actually nested inside another (let's say it's an outer
loop over blog posts, then an inner loop over tags for each post). To
filter the tags, I have to loop over the posts in the view, and annotate
each with a filtered list of tags. I'm already looping in the template,
and don't need to loop in the view at all except to perform this filtering.
To me, this is kind of ugly. Do-able, but unfortunate.
