server-info is for debugging, don't rely on it for anything at all.
If there is something you need that isn't covered by list-sessions,
list-windows, list-panes, display-message then those are the place to
add it.
What would be really nice would be a way to represent their output in a
general internal form that could be output nicely, eg we translate a
window into a list of key,value pairs such as:
[index=7, name=abc, width=159, height=48, layout=3fdf,159x48,0,0]
Then eg lsw could build a set of these lists and the output could be
expressed by a format string such as '#{index}: #{name}
[#{width}x#{height}] (layout=#{layout})' and it could be easy to
customise. Also it would allow easier filtering, sorting, etc.
Could use the same for choose-* and as the backend for #W etc.
