For some reason someone attached this as an anon. comment to my RFE

I think this has been discussed before.
On the (more interesting :-) topic of my RFE, Bulia, what did you think of my amended proposal, pasted below?
Cheers -Terry
In the RFE I suggested three options,
--query-all id1 id2 id3 ... idN --query-all my_prefix_* --query-all
all with the same output, but listing only some ids, listing only some ids by regex, or listing everything. Note that the last is not compatible with the first two. Right now I favor the third option because it avoids regex and creates a mechanism for listing the ids. So what if --query-all dumped the following:
id,x,y,width,height path34,345.3,52,200,344
etc. etc.
i.e. the first line lists the fields, allows for more fields to be added in the future, and provides a hint for a human reader.
Is simple comma delimiting sufficient? There should probably be an assumption that things may need quoting in the future, maybe even the present if someone creates ids with commas. I think that's immoral, but it's probably not invalid :-)
Does something like that cover what you're looking for?
