`LIST [<fields>] [OFF] [FOR ...] [WHILE ...] [NEXT ...] [RECORD ...]
[REST] [ALL]` and `DISPLAY [<fields>] [OFF] [FOR ...] ... [ALL]`
reach the parser as plain function calls to a new RTL primitive
__dbList (rtlDbList in hbrtl/database.go).
Implementation: walk the workarea under dbEval-style FOR/WHILE/NEXT/
RECORD/REST bounds. For each visible record, evaluate each column
block and emit the rendered values via valueToDisplay (the same
formatter QOut already uses). Empty fields list defaults to
"all fields". OFF suppresses the record-number prefix.
LIST always emits the full filtered range; DISPLAY without ALL emits
only the current record (encoded as nCount=1). TO PRINTER / TO FILE
clauses are not yet wired through — for now everything goes to
stdout.
Wiring up LIST/DISPLAY surfaced four further gaps in PP that were
silently masking bugs in any rule with multiple word-list / list /
optional clauses chained together:
* matchSegment refused MarkerWordList inside `[...]`. The LIST
rule's `[<off:OFF>]` clause therefore never set the off
capture, and `<.off.>` substituted to nothing instead of .T./.F.
matchSegment now matches WordList markers the same way the
top-level matcher does.
* `<v,...>` and `<(f)>` capture stop boundaries didn't include the
values of following MarkerWordList markers. For
`[<v,...>] [<off:OFF>] [<all:ALL>]` against `LIST id, name OFF`,
the v list would happily eat OFF. New addStopFrom helper
contributes both literal keywords and word-list values; both
matchSegment's MarkerList branch and captureExpression now use
it.
* Optional-repeat loop in matchPattern merged a no-progress
iteration's empty capture into the running multi-capture string
(with the `\x01` separator) before the no-progress break check
fired. So a successful first iteration's value got contaminated
and the substitution loop then skipped it as multi-capture
garbage. The merge now happens after the progress check.
* Unreferenced `<.name.>` markers (optional clauses that didn't
match in the input) were getting cleaned up to empty by the
generic marker scrubber instead of the .F. sentinel Harbour's
std.ch expects. New replaceUnreferencedLogify pass mirrors the
existing replaceUnreferencedBlockify and runs just before the
cleanup.
Parser cleanup: LIST and DISPLAY removed from the IDENT-statement
no-op switch in both parseIdentStmt and parseExprStmt.
