Most of it, actually it won't. The code for breaking the ',' won't be
needed for sure. The state var probably won't be needed too as we will
have the needed information before hand.

It's not a bad idea, especially considering as Karl wants to release.
But probably it will take a long time until the is muti level indexing

always fetch it from CVS.

I leave to his judgement what to do.
