Is anybody using service performFindList?

That service returns the actual list size (in context as "listSize"), and a possibly smaller list (FastList). The problem is that when this list gets to the ModelForm.java (method getListLimits()), the context value "listSize" is totally ignored, and the list size is gotten from the partial list returned by performFindList. Obviously, this is wrong, since the actual list size IS NOT the size of the partial list!

If I am allowed to fix the problem right here, in ModelForm.java, the following 
questions are moot.

I have another question, about service performFind.

In Minilang, how do I take the EntityIterator returned by that service, calculate some additional values, and slap on those values into the list elements to be displayed in the UI listings output as an additional column? For eg, I may have a simple logic like "if product name is profane, display a big label VULGAR, else display a small label Mild". I'd want a product listing that has the additional column called "Vulgarity alert".

OR...

Can I get the Widget Form renderer to look at 2 lists with the same sizes, and simply combine them, like "row 1 of list A with row 1 of list B, and row 2 with row 2..."?

If I can somehow massage the EntityIterator from service performFind, I won't have to use performFindList.

Or should I just go for freemarker macros in such cases?

Thanks.
