Summary: digit-only tag values are mishandled in Tkinter

Initial Comment:
It  appears that  most Tkinter tag operations fail on
digit-only tag values

>>> from Tkinter import *
>>> root=Tk()
>>> c=Canvas(root)
>>> c.create_line(0,0,100,100, tags="123")
1
>>> c.gettags(1)
('123',)
>>> c.pack()       
>>> c.find_withtag("123")
()

tkinter docs:
http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/x2017-concepts.htm

only say this about tag values:
  "Tags are ordinary strings, and they can contain
anything except whitespace."

So this behaviour seems like a bug.
