Re: [ic] [fly-list] for arbitrary databases doesn't work?

I am surprised it ever did. But you can add an onfly=1 option and
force it to work.
In any case, [fly-list onfly=1 ...] is exactly equivalent to:
[loop prefix=item list="[data session arg]"]
except it won't track a VIEW_PRODUCT in the tracking, and it won't
run list_compat to make [if-field ...] and [if-data ...] work.
