Juergen,
This reminded me of two suggestions concerning object names that I've
been meaning to send you.
First, allow the MIB module name or MIB file name to be optionally
used when specifying an object. For example,
RFC1213-MIB!sysDescr.0 or
rfc1213.mib!sysDescr.0
This would solve the non-uniqueness problem as module names must be
unique and object names must be unique within a module.
Second, allow numeric subids to be specified using C syntax. For
example,
hostAddress.1.0x01.0x23.0x45.0x67.0x89.0xab
I'm used to this instead of using ':'s when dealing with instances
that are more naturally expressed in hexadecimal.
I could probably manage to work up the patches for these if you don't
have time.
