Moritz,

Yes, this is exactly what I had in mind.  I will watch for any discussions.

I have two other related suggestions.  1)  I would love an option to
change the delimiter character from "/" to something else.  That is fine
for a default, but being able to use "\n" would be great also.

2)  I found that v.label behaves differently from d.vect.  v.label
actually just displays the first value, and no delimiter or other data.
I would suggest a patch to have it create labels that are the same as
d.vect.  Thoughts?

The email below went to Bcc so I am just sending this to you, but feel
free to put it on any lists that you feel are appropriate for such
discussions.

Thanks much for following up on this.

--Adam

  The attached patch (against svn7) slightly modifies d.vect in that it only
  displays delimiters ("/") for those category values where label values
  actually exist. I attache two screenshots to make clearer what the patch
  does.

  I would just submit the patch without posting, but I'm not sure if some
  people find it important to see the existance of null values for some
  categories. However, if no one objects, I'll commit.
