The problem is that I don't know any way to change the enum formatting for CLI but leave it alone for MI-. That's one of the reasons I proposed the "set enum-fmt" solution to, avoid breaking historical default behaviour but still giving users who wanted it the option to use a more informative format. I'll be glad to dust the patch off--I haven't deleted either version--if people want it, and I'll even look around for some way to distinguish between running under CLI vs. MI if that's the right thing to do. It had just gotten to the point where making a really trivial change was taking way more effort than it was worth. Chris > But besides no > approval rights I am even not a regular MI/frontend user.
