I think this is heading in the wrong direction.... ZODB isn't magic, and
neither is Persistence, they're both controllable.  There was a discussion a
while back about 'fine grained pack' of the ZODB -- that would really be a
great feature, and it seems there's some work going on in that area.
Perhaps each object could have a pack(date) method.  But aside from that,
the only clear need I've seen for external storage is external (outside
zope) access, which is a requirement independent of size or number of
files...
