+1.  Jeremy and I were discussing trying to create a what I now think
is a namespace package for storages.  E.g. I'd like to be able to do

from zodb.storage import FileStorage
from zodb.storage import BDBFullStorage
from zodb.storage import DirectoryStorage

etc.

Or, as in the case above, zodb.storage spread out on the file system.
I suspect we're eventually going to need /some/ kind of Python support
to make this work really smoothly.
