Well, that piece of information is certainly useful, because I didn't find
it anywhere else.
What is the default behavior of pytables 2.0 then going to be ?
It kind of changes the behavior of my code whether I have to construct a
string by adding paths and '/', or traverse a hierarchy recursively.

Actually what confuses me is that the behvavior is different for
for item in table:
   do_something(item)
than it is for
for item in table[:]:
   do_something(item)

The first allows me to use
item['path/to/child']
while in the latter case I have to write
item['path']['to']['child']

Is that behavior going to be unified ?

Cheers,
   Jan

Actually, the ``NestedRecArray`` implemented in PyTables allows one to
access nested fields by separating the elements in the path with a
slash, like this::

    >>> nestedrecarray['path/to/field']

However, the NumPy equivalent needs the elements in the path accessed
one at a time, so you would need to write::

    >>> nprecarray['path']['to']['field']

However, I see you won't need that piece of information. ;)
