The format is fine. Why does the patch remove the check to stop you
dropping a system table though? That is unrelated and seems
ill-advised.

No, I doubt it will always be a collection. Have a look at the code to
drop objects - Iirc, that does already handle multiple objects and
should get this right. However, if memory serves it does it in a
different way; you select multiple objects in the listview (NOT the
treeview) and drop them all at once. That gives more flexibility than
dropping the entire collection of course.
