For something shorter, select/tar maybe. Or select-meta if want
to keep a more common - style.
app-meta could also get awkward if we do this with libraries.
Kind of like the idea of having something to describe what users
should expect from this (select/alt). But if we want a general
purpose meta category that could be used for about anything like
virtual but without PMS restrictions, then that doesn't really work
(could even go ahead and call it 'meta').
