Is it possible to set tags from a dictionary? I have a dict of True / False values that I want to tag and aggregate but the public api docs only shows `elasticapm.tag(ecommerce=True, dollar_value=47.12)` which requires supplying a variable name, so I cant iterate over my dict and add the tags like this

```auto
for k,v in payload.items():
    elasticapm.tag(k=v)

```

Many thanks

Hi James,

```auto
elasticapm.tag(**payload)

```
