I've added this facility and quite heavily adjusted the way the
name/value pairs are stored internally to xFx. I've tidied up the
interface which was a bit messy TBH, which may lead to a few very
small compilation errors from the next build, but they're very easy to
resolve. I generally try and resist breaking changes like this, but I
should have got this right in the first place and it needs fixing at
some point.

Changing the way the pairs are stored has meant that xFx no longer
re-orders them. xAPplications shouldn't, I believe, care about the
order the pairs arrive in, but this has been a much requested fix. As
a bonus it retains the case of the pair names so "Text=Some
words" no
longer becomes "text=Some words". Small but long overdue.

The tidying up the interface allows you to access pairs by name or
index now, so you enumerate them in a few ways to suit your code.

I'm going to do some more testing here first but the next release will
feature these changes.

HTH,
