+// This example illustrates how to debounce commands.
+//
+// When the user presses a key we increment the "tag" value on the model and,
+// after a short delay, we include that tag value in the message produced
+// by the Tick command.
+//
+// In a subsequent Update, if the tag in the Msg matches current tag on the
+// model's state we know that the debouncing is complete and we can proceeed as
+// normal. If not, we simply ignore the inbound message.
