Description (last modified by Even Rouault)

GDAL driver metadata is handy to get long and short names for drivers; it's also
nice to get filename extensions used to populate open file dialogs.  OGR current
doesn't have such a mechanism, and probably could benefit from a similar
implementation.

Agreed.

So it's been over a year and a half since I added this; any chance that this is
going to get added anytime Real Soon Now?  GetInfo() is such a tease; it just
returns NULL.

Mark,

This would be my "grand unification" of GDAL and OGR and there is no 
sign of it happening in the near future.

Should 9 years count as near futyre ;-) ? Anyway, RFC 46 closes this ticket !
