Well, "complexity" is subjective here, so sorry if it seems I'm
exaggerating in this situation. But the point I'm making is that,
rather than inventing a new tag to encapsulate, e.g. "buildings that
are...a restaurant, bar, and gambling location [and] are members
only", i.e. "buildings that are A, B, C and D", I personally think
tagging A, B, C and D is a more powerful solution, for reasons I've
already described. Just an idea - I'm happy to be proven wrong.

I don't know.
