how to tag in vmware?

[Kesten Broughton]

There's a ton of new modules for vmware which is great!

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/list_of_cloud_modules.html

However, one of the core features we rely on is tagging (like ec2_tag).

It looks like it should be possible according to chapter7 here

Has anyone seen tagging support for vmware?

If not, i may take a crack at vmware_tags which would handle tagging anything that

has an id or other unique identifier.

Indeed, there's tagging support... You need to use web client, not the .Net one

Please post if you do this, it would be hugely useful.  It is my understanding that the vsphere api makes it difficult/impossible to work with tags in ESX 5.x, but pretty easy in ESX 6.x.
