Description
Created attachment 54159 Patch against dbus-1.4.12 to add this feature.
dbus-send(1) does not support nested containers at all. There is a common idiom of having a{sv} as the last argument of dbus API functions to support later extensions, but dbus-send(1) cannot call these functions. Therefore, add special-case support for a{sv}, which can be done without extending the dbus-send(1) syntax in a backward-incompatible way.
Patch attached.
