Gases in divelist

Hi,

I received a "bug report" on the list of gases in the dive list (which is determined in the function nitrox_data_func()). It turned out, there is no bug, the list is as intended (as in the comments in the source): If there is any helium, report only gas with largest amount of helium, otherwise report only O2 percentages either as a range or as one value (and the column-heading "O2%" does not exactly reflect that). In addition, the 'strongest' trimix in my friends' dive was not used at all during the dive but still that was the only gas reported.

This is based on code that was written by Linus in September 2011. Maybe this is the time to rethink if this logic still applies. I guess it was dictated by concerns about the column width. What do people think, shouldn't we 

a) a report a more complete gas list there
b) maybe exclude gases that have not been used (e.g. starting pressure == end pressure)?

Best
Robert
