Hi!

I'm using the `system.tag.browse("path", {})` and the documentation says that returns an object called "Results".

However, in some examples I saw they used `Results.getResults()`. This method returns a list instead of a wrapper.

What could be the difference between doing this or this?  
`l1 = system.tag.browse("path")`  
`l2 = system.tag.browse("path").getResults()`

At a scripting level works the same (?).

Thanks!

The outer wrapper has additional properties. Use `dir()` to inspect it.
