dtrace discuss - Mar 2007 - printa

Dear Tracy,
           I''ld sure like to be able to do

	printa (arr1, arr2, ...);
or
	printa ("format", arr1, arr2, ...);

with each arr* being either an aggregate array or an associative array,

and have all values with a common associative index printed together,


rather than having to write a really messy perl script to re-arrange

the output from separate statements:

	printa (arr1);
	printa (arr2);
	...

You can already pass multiple aggregations (with the same keys) to printa().
You can''t and won''t be able to print an entire associative
array -- they''re
fundamentally a different animal than aggregations.
