Here, you're suggesting that it would be useful to keep the \conninfo meta-command, improve it with a "new version," and display the returned content as a table instead of text. If that's the case, I think it's a good idea since it would show the "new settings" that the current version doesn't display and, yes, it would serve the same purpose as \conninfo+. Regarding which settings to display, the discussion tends to get very broad, and we can never settle on what should be shown definitively. I believe that, often, less is more, so showing only the essential settings would be enough. Regards, Maiquel.
