[Tagging] Feature Proposal - Voting - shop=boat (supersedes shop=marine, shop=*chandler, etc)

[Dave Swarthout]

I liked shop=marine because IMO it described the boat supply situation in
my area perfectly (Homer, Alaska, USA). While the tag you suggest might be
more definitive in some ways, being forced to use the bulky,
multiple-colon-endowed tag "seamark:small_craft_facility:category=chandler" is
not an attractive alternative.

My 2 cents
