need to give a tag for all repeated booleans?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. extract from the message definition in the *.proto file
message LithologyProperty_GMT {
    required string lithology = 1;
    required PropertyType property = 2;
    optional ProbabilityDistributionFunction_GMT ProbabilityDistributionFunction = 3;
    optional bool fixed = 4 [ default = false];  // moveable field
    optional int32 index_voxet_key = 5;  // index field
    //  bool array list to indicate possible formation below current formation
    //  a normal pile ordering is achieved with "trues" in the top triangle 
    //  an overturned pile ordering is achieved with "trues" in the lower triangle 
    optional ctm.RepeatedBool preserve = 6; // PreserveVerticalRelationship, current
}
2. ASCII file that I wish to parse
LithologyProperty {lithology:"h_CAMBRIAN";property: 
Susceptibility;ProbabilityDistributionFunction {type:LogNormal;mean: 
0.0009; stddev: 0.00004;}
    preserve: {node:0;0;0;1;1;1;1;1;1;1;}}

I expect to be able to avoid using the tag for each repeated instance?

What do you see instead?
Parse error, as I cannot guess which way to do it.

What version of the product are you using?
2.4 On what operating system?  Vista

Please provide any additional information below.

What language? In C++ at least there is a "short repeated format" available for 
short repeated primitives, e.g>:
preserve: { node: [ 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, ... ] }

I think there was some change to support parsing this format in Java, but I 
don't think it has hit the open source release yet.
