'the_tags' filter not applied on the_tags() function

[scribu]

When you call the_tags() this is what happens:

the_tags() => the_terms() => get_the_term_list() => apply_filters( "term_links-$taxonomy")

But 'the_tags' filter is called in get_tags_list().

This is how it should be:

the_tags() => get_tags_list()

Also pass the arguments to the filter

+1 But I believe this goes back as far as 2.5, maybe further.

You're right. All the more reason to fix it. :)

I came up with an almost identical fix to the patch scribu posted before I knew this ticket existed. I've tested his patch on 2.5.1 and 2.8-svn, but nothing in between. Can someone qualified tag this as (tested|needs-testing|commit)?

(In [10888]) Invoke the_tags filter in the_tags(). Props scribu. fixes #9436
