Re: [libvirt] [PATCH V2 3/4] Parse lists of values

This patch introduces a parser for parsing lists of values as for

found in the XML here:
<parameter name='TEST' value='[10.1.2.3,10.2.3.4,
10.1.1.1]'/>
The list of values is then stored in the newly introduced data type
virNWFilterVarValue.
This kind of thing is frowned up with XML, because now everything that
uses the XML doc has todo special parsing. eg, you can't just use a
XPath query to get a list of IP values as a nodeset, instead you have
to query for a node and then post-process it. Why not just support
<parameter name='TEST' value='10.1.2.3'/>
<parameter name='TEST' value='10.2.3.4'/>
<parameter name='TEST' value='10.1.1.1'/>
