consistency of explain output: two spaces, equals vs colons, semicolons
(incremental sort)
Yes. Now that the other items related to incremental sort are fixed,
this is next on my TODO.
OK, so aside from the typo/comment fixes, the proposed changes to the
explain format are:
- two spaces to separate groups of related values
- use colons rather than equals for fields
- don't use semicolons
- split full-groups and prefix-groups to separate lines
I'm generally OK with most of this - I'd probably keep the single-line
format, but I don't feel very strongly about that and if others think
using two lines is better ...
Barring objections I'll get this polished and pushed soon-ish (say,
early next week).
