If seagull can't help me with this kind of tasks, I really doubt that
I'll use it. I prefer to hard-code some things in aid of fast
prototipying . Can it help me?

This sounds cool.

Example taken from pear.php.net (but current release can't do this yet):
<?php
require('Structures/DataGrid.php');
require('myclasses/User.php');
// Define the DataObject
$user = new User();
$user->whereAdd("height > 6");
// Print the DataGrid
$dg = new Structures_DataGrid();
$source &= Structures_DataGrid_Source::create($user);
$dg->bindDataSource($source);
$dg->render();
?>
this is used to list (it supports pagination, I think). Take a look at
the docs for more information.
I asked this because since I have not read seagull docs yet, I don't
know if it could benefit from this package.
Bye.
