dd_load_text_ext(dd, "time", flags) may benefit from a new flag DD_LOAD_TEXT_PRINTABLE,
which makes it generate printable representation of fields.
+
+
+ Reduce amount of special-casing in the code which works with crash_data
+
+Examples:
+
+Reporters use something like this to exclude "non-interesting" fields:
+
+for (each crash_data element)
+{
+ if (strcmp(short_name, FILENAME_COUNT) == 0) goto next;
+ if (strcmp(short_name, CD_DUMPDIR) == 0) goto next;
+ if (strcmp(short_name, FILENAME_INFORMALL) == 0) goto next;
+ if (strcmp(short_name, FILENAME_MESSAGE) == 0) goto next; // plugin's status message (if we already reported it yesterday)
+ ...
+}
+
+Can it be done with a flag?
