In most cases (more than 95%) all you need is (1) below...i.e.
operations on single or multiple row entries in a table...very rarely
will we need 2 or 3.
Even if 2 and 3 are needed, they can easily be accomplished using 1. 

I hope we don't have to over design the protocol to support the uncommon
case,

As opposed to what?
(1)  Multi-entry operations (multiple rows)
     Or...
(2)  Operation in a single field of a table entry (row) when
     the table entry is a struct?
     Or...
(3)  Operating on a subset of fields (more than one field,
     but not the whole struct) in a struct-type table entry?
