For this scenario it would be nice to have an option allowing a
multi-line bbdb file format instead of the one-line-per-person format:
,----
| ["Firstname" "Lastname"
| nil
| nil
| (["Mobile" "000000000000"]
| ["Other" "00000000000"])
| nil
| ("[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
| "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
| "[EMAIL PROTECTED]")
| ((creation-date . "2005-05-05")
| (timestamp . "2006-09-05")
| (notes . "..., ...")
| (category . "bar")
| (gnokii . "t")
| (mail-alias . "foo-bar-Team")
| (www . "http://www.somewhere.invalid";))
| nil]
`----
For the Lisp reader, it won't make any difference, but it would
simplify diffing and merging significantly.
Bye, Reiner.
