Would you be interested in XML or JSON snippets rather than clunky BNF?

Subject: [Hdf-forum] request/suggestion re: high level libraries and
debugging

It occurs to me that the h5dump program does a lot of stuff that would be
really useful to have in library code.  As an example, I was running into a
problem today that I suspected was due to a type definition that was in use
incorrectly.  I was ultimately able to confirm my suspicion by reading code,
but during that search I thought it'd be really handy to have a function
that I could use to dump out the structure of the data type to some output
stream or other.

h5dump already does what I was interested in, but it's not library code and
would be difficult to integrate into my program to look at the definition of
a type that's only defined in memory.

Anyway, I thought it'd be super useful to have some of this code in h5dump
moved into a high level library for debugging (or other) purposes.
