If I remember correctly, some years ago, there was an idea thrown around at a Codeathon to make the 'info()' structures readable across the network.

That feature would allow you to add any number of string tags to any record, but without record-specific code, without blowing up the field list and without adding to the memory footprint of every instance.

Does anyone remember why that feature was never fully developed?

Cheers,
