When I'm putting a loadout together, I'd like to say something like "I don't care if you wear a t-shirt or a button-down shirt, but wear one of them". Sure, there's a slight preference one way or the other, but I really don't care that much. As is, I have to be overly prescriptive about each possible tag.

I'd really like to use the "Only wear items found in loadout" option (so I can control loadouts _only_ via tags), but without the ability to associate categories of items with a tag, I really can't stop using the vanilla assignments.

(The problem with vanilla assignments is that managing things like ranged vs melee (for shield belts) and common vs prestige (only giving prestige to royals) quickly means I need a lot of assignments. Unfortunately, as-is, compositable loadouts really can't help with this the way I'd like, since I still have to blacklist things for some pawns somehow)
