So.... This patch has been through a lot of commitfests. And it really
doesn't seem that hard to resolve -- Pavel has seemingly been willing
to go along whichever way the wind has been blowing but honestly it
kind of seems like he's just gotten drive-by suggestions and he's put
a lot of work into trying to satisfy them.
He implemented --include-tables-from-file=... etc. Then he implemented
a hand-written parser for a DSL to select objects, then he implemented
a bison parser, then he went back to the hand-written parser.
Can we get some consensus on whether the DSL looks right and whether
the hand-written parser is sensible. And if so then can a committer
step up to actual review and commit the patch? The last review said it
might need a native English speaker to tweak some wording but
otherwise looked good.
