Return the universal tag number for the specified `object` using the specified `formattingMode`, and load into the specified `alternateTag` any alternative tag numbers corresponding to `object`. The behavior is undefined if the type category of `object` and the `formattingMode` does not permit a universal tag number (see  for allowed type categories and formatting modes). Note that if an alternate tag number does not exist for `object` then `alternateTag` is not modified.
