Sorry Guewen and Alexandre, I think I mislead you in my first comment which I
revised shortly afterwards. On second thoughts and after more internal
discussions we think it is indeed better to have a real `is_company` field with
the natural semantics (making it available for legal purposes etc.). So we
would instead make sure it is possible to have contacts and addresses on a
partner that is not marked as `is_company`, even in 7.0.

This way the semantics of the `is_company` flag would be correct in 7.0
already, and not only in trunk. There is probably no need for a `is_hierarchy`
or `is_complex` flag, it is redundant with the actual presence of children.

We plan to do everything that can be done for that in 7.0 without breaking the
stable policy, and the rest will be done in trunk (adding a config option to
show the addresses/contacts on all partners).

I apologize for the confusion, hopefully this solution works for you as well...
