Description
This would go a long way towards making the post types feature more complete. I discovered while converting Links from the native format into a post type that the admin lists are still very clunky to work with, especially with quick edit obliterating non-underscored post meta and the quick edit form not being configurable enough on the server-side to make it useful for more unusual post type requirements.
Code-wise it would be good to work with it in a similar way to the Walker_Nav_Menu class eg. so I could extend the WP_Posts_List class to overwrite certain elements for my post type.

Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.

The list table API will be made public (and therefore extensible) for WP 3.2.
Not sure about the parameter for register_post_type() though.
Punting to future for now.
