I'd like it integrating into the *library*, not hard-coding into 'dmsetup'.
i.e. an alternative output format for the library's reporting mechanism.

so 'lvs -o vg_name,lv_name --asvariables' (with some more-descriptive choice of
cmdline arg) might produce:
LVM_VG_NAME_1="vg1"  
LVM_LV_NAME_1="lv1"
LVM_VG_NAME_2="vg1"
LVM_LV_NAME_2="lv2"
var name generated by library from prefix + col name in caps + row no suffix
(of course if you only ask for one object at a time, you'll always have suffix
of _1 so it should work fine for your scripts)
