Hi Ben:

Thanks for your comments, I think I got them all added
to the user-defined-fields page.

The whole point is to get the pros & cons collected,
so that we can then decide what we need and in what order.
I see good reasons for both adding fields to record instances
(easy to use, but limited functionality)
and having building blocks for new records
(requires more forethought but also more options).

For example, the current AI, AO, CALC, CALCOUT, SUB, DFANOUT
records all have very much the same code for handling the
alarms via LOLO, ..., HIHI, LLSV, ..., HHSV.
The necessary rewrite of the database for V4
would benefit from only having to write that once
and then build those records by invoking the same 'analogAlarms' code.

Thanks,
-Kay
