TupleDescr is created by language creator. This ensure exactly
expected format, because there are no possible registry check function
with other output tuple descriptor.

I am strongly disagree.

1. This format is not consistent with other commands,
2. This format is difficult for copy/paste
3. THE ARE NOT CARET - this is really important
5. This form is bad for terminals - there are long rows, and with \x
outout, there are lot of "garbage" for multicommand
4. When you would to this form, you can to directly call SRF PL check
functions.

Without correct registration you cannot to call PL check function
directly simply. I don't thing so this is good price for removing a
few SPI lines. I don't understand why you don't like SPI. It is used
more times in code for similar purpose.

so from me -1
