-----------------------------------------
Providing `marker` and `tags` per Package
-----------------------------------------
It has been suggested to allow for the `marker` and `tags` keys as
found in the `[metadata]` table in `[package]` tables as well. This
would allow lockers to specify when a version of a package should be
considered. This also has the potential for lowering computational
costs for installers by assisting them in knowing when to remove a
package version from consideration.
This does, though, somewhat duplicate environment markers being kept
in the `needs` array.
