Is it possible to have a tags field? was created by softforge

I have been playing with the awesome new tags in Joomla v3.1 and this is exactly what we need to create a LinkedIn style "Skills" field for our members.

Would it be easy to integrate a tags field into CB? Here are the docs:

docs.joomla.org/Using_Tags_in_an_Extension

I'm guessing a field plugin would be needed, are their any plans for this?

I think this would be a totally awesome plugin!

Can't use their field usage, but can use the API to create a new CB fieldtype plugin. Won't be needed with CB 2.0 as we'll have proper repeating fields. Nothing planned prior to CB 2.0 in this regard though.
