Well, when I've got a few rather urgent jobs out of the way, I'll
hopefully be installing a new COPAC target wich implements much
more of full-fat Explain than we do now -- including
TermList-Info and TermList-Details. Most of the coding is
complete and it really wasn't hard to do (just tedious.) (This
should please Rob even if no-one else uses it.)

Cynics might think that some server vendors want to make it
as difficult as possible for third party clients to search
their databases.
