The general idea is that merging multiple dependencies of the same name should produce the strictest tag instead of a (meaningless) union of the reserved tags. For example, if a dependency is both a `:recommended` and an `:optional` dependency at different points in the dependency tree, the resulting merged dependency should be tagged as `:recommended`. Handle all other reserved tags in the same spirit.
