[OpenIndiana-discuss] Finding the "last" snapshot for a zfs volume

[Discussion list for OpenIndiana]

It seems that someone should bring up this issue on the zfs list.  All 
of the proposed solutions have involved 'tail -1'.  This is a 
non-scalable solution which does not work efficiently for any number 
of snapshots.  Since it is such a common requirement, zfs should 
provide an efficient way to obtain both the first and last snapshots 
matching a specification.
