I hadn't actually looked at the "code" when I mused about adding it to
some distribution. Now that I see there's not any actual code there, I
guess that doesn't make sense after all.
...which brings me to my next point: what am I supposed to *do* with the
module you posted? Install it somewhere? Just read it? Is it supposed
to be abundantly clear from reading that interface how I iterate over a
FileStorage or bsddb3Storage database? (It isn't.)
Is ClientStorage going to support this interface someday? Would it be
easy to add, or would it require protocol modifications?
