Is there any way to determine a record type’s key from the CLI?
I ask because I’m looking at rec-mode.el and I think editing the value of a
field where the field type is a foreign key, Emacs should prompt with a
selection of associated foreign keys, similar to the enum field type, rather
than unrestricted text, e.g.
%rec: fruit
%key: id
id: 0
fruit: apple
id: 1
fruit: banana
id: 2
fruit: pineapple
%rec: people
%key: name
%type: food rec fruit
name: Philip
food: 2
name: James
food: 1
When editing food in the rec type people, the selection should prompt for the
key’s of fruit (0, 1, 2).
I can put this together in Emacs, but it seems better that the CLI retrieve the
keys than parse the file with Lisp.
