Question - in the code, we have a comment:
/**
* qdict_flatten(): For each nested QDict with key x, all fields with key y
* are moved to this QDict and their key is renamed to "x.y". For each
nested
* QList with key x, the field at index y is moved to this QDict with
the key
* "x.y" (i.e., the reverse of what qdict_array_split() does).
* This operation is applied recursively for nested QDicts and QLists.
*/
With your new split rules, do we need a followup patch to qdict_flatten
that can regenerate the QDict with "%u" keys for non-dict members of the
QList?
