I agree that they're not exactly the same feature. However, they're
sufficiently close to each other that if nothing else, the naming will
cause confusion. As it stands, the elided-display stuff /already/
causes confusion. Since I haven't read through the exact changes you
made, I don't know how much duplication of effort - if any - is
involved in having both systems present. What I think needs to be done
is for bbdb-elided-display to go away (or be replaced with some
aliasing and a bunch of warnings to say it /will/ go away), and be
replaced with a combination of your code and the elided-display
functionality under something like bbdb-displayed-fields-* and
bbdb-one-line-display-*.
Open for discussion, of course.
Cheers,
Waider.
