Custom reuseable iApp data profiles and other Generic useful procedures

Problem this snippet solves:

This library provides the methods for generically importing other service objects, a callback mechanism utilizing per object metadata that allows for dependancies to be correctly handled within iApps, a nice regexp get_items variant for grabbing objects with regex filters, and to generically import a table from the current service with multiple views of the data.

proc import_service { service name }
proc service_callback { }
proc import_table { table_local type } 

This proc allows you to import a local table in an iApp.

import_table { table type}

Table must be an APL table object such as $::sectionname_tablename

Types
ary – returns an array in "array set" form and is referenced $name(column__row#) and contains the value for that column__row#
comma – returns an array in "array set" form and is referenced $name(column,row#) and contains the value for that column,row#
names – returns a TCL list of the column names in the stored order – this is crucial for interpreting the "row" TCL lists referenced below
row – returns an array in "array set" form and is referenced $name(row#) and contains row# in a TCL list in the order of "names" list
Col – returns an array in "array set" form and is referenced $name(columnname) and contains columnname in a TCL list in the order of the rows 
Rowcol – returns an array in "array set" form and is referenced $name(row#) and contains row# in a TCL list of lists where each sub list is {columnname value}

IMPLEMENTATION CODE
    array set hostfile_table [tmsh::run_proc f5.ntr_utils:import_table { $::hostfile__hostfile comma }]
    puts "$hostfile_table(names,1)" 


APL CODE
    section hostfile {
        table hostfile {
            string hostname 
            choice record_type { "A", "AAAA" }
            string addr validator "IpAddress"
        }
    }
proc get_items_regexp { field_name field args }
