Problem Statement
There is currently no way to tag gunsmiths that do not sell guns. Some shop=gun offer gunsmithing services. Others delegate such services to a gunsmith which is not part of the gun shop.
Proposal
I propose adding shop=gunsmith to the list of values for shop=*, to be applied to either nodes or areas.
Rationale
This proposal makes it possible to map gunsmiths that do not sell guns. There are similar repair shops that repair other things, like shop=car_repair.
An alternative value could be gun_repair, but "gunsmith" seems to be the most common term and therefore the most sensible. Compare shop=locksmith.
Tagging
Add either a node or an area and tag it with:
Do *not* tag gun shops that also offer gunsmithing services, unless said gunsmith is a separate operator inside the same building.
Examples
Impact on Data Consumers
There should be no impact on data consumers assuming they are able to handle new values. This is not a proposal to change any value, unless people have already tagged gunsmiths as shop=gun by mistake.
As far as rendering goes, a new icon would be nice.
