Hi Dave,

Hi Alexandr,

Right from the get-go, this patch needs to be reworked to maintain
backwards-compability w/respect to pre-existing users of the list_data
structure, and by extension, the do_list(), do_rbtree() and do_rdtree()
functions, which may be used by pre-existing extension modules.  While you
do maintain the original -s options to both the list and tree commands, you
rip out the structure members the original data structures used, and the
simple code pieces that used them.  So I can't accept that kind of change.

Can you please make it so the original structname and structname_args
members will still be used by the -s options, and segregate your newly
added functionality?  You can still add stuff to the end of exported
list_data and tree_data structures.

Thanks,
  Dave
