How would we achieve this without altering the core/ui shadow tiddler? Is
there a way to make upgrades less of a nightmare and overriding the
$:/core/ui/ViewTemplate/tags
with our own template ? (I haven't done any deep customization such as this
before so sorry ahead of time if it's an obvious answer.)
