OK, it's a little tricky. But consider our page naming structure. {p1}.
{p2}.{p3}...
They have many benefit on the 1, 2, 3, position. If I have a name like
this:
books.science.children
This is a hierarchical category no problem, but I can consider the
name not only category but also data. And p1 is the field name, books
is the value.
In this case we use {p3} to retrieve the 3rd value from a page name.
But p1, p2, p3 are nothing but position indicator, right? Yes it's
position but also we can "give meaning" to the position. We don't
really need to give different field name to each position. We only
need to know what position meaning what for us.
This is what I think about the info vers. Now the info vars only
support one position. If we have more position, data1, data2, data3...
Maybe we can retrieve them by {info.vars::{p}:{d1}}, {info.vars::{p}:
{d2}}, {info.vars::{p}:{d3}}...
We don't really need to give every field a different names.
