I gather that my remarks went into the cosmic bit bucket, but I would like
to reiterate that a logfile of the form
{keyword valuestring} {keyword valuestring}...
is, by its nature, *automatically* capable of handling whatever data
elements Majordomo needs, even if those elements change from log entry to
log entry; yet the results are still readable and trivially parseable.
Nothing need be escaped in the valuestring except } , and you can invent
new keywords in later versions without sacrificing backward compatibility.
