I am not against having some more human readable output than plain
tabular. In particular the idea that we need to have all fields is of
course open to discussion. But is the output as proposed above really
all that human friendly? I disagree that it cannot be improved.
BTW one thing that's missing in this feature so far is some
translatability of the returned output.
