A rope is a data structure designed to make string concat an O(1)
operation, where you store a tree, or a linked list of substring

there is also intersection with the concept of "ropes" rather than
"strings" as I understand the term,

Ah; I purposely didn't include that because it isn't finished in some

can hack up those ideas behind the method name

Because only strings have character positions.
Perhaps the description isn't clear enough - the string is the thing that
has tags. Tags are name/value pairs that apply to some substring range of
positions
