Yes but some of the maintainers did not really like this solution.

This thread we're in now is this new thread you suggested.
I tried to summarize the issue and go over all the different proposals
(we are up to 4 different solutions). My impression is that the maintainers
prefer to change PRecord (which is new) instead of changing the genereal
GDB behaviour with respect to queries (which has been there for a long time).

Thanks
