It's pretty good indeed. Thanks for sharing the tip.

But it's very impractical to read any table in info format, and it's
missing an index. I guess the table format could be readable if using
the equivalent of psql's \x (1 row per column) and an empty line between
rows, but I have no idea how to do it. Ditto for indexing.
