I feel I should correct myself and give credit where due.  The
design comes completely from ZODB.  I believe Jim Fulton was
responsible for the original design and he's definitely a wizard.
The Durus developers' secret sauce was ruthless devotion to the
ideal of simplicity.  I feel recent Durus versions have drifted a
little from that ideal but I guess that's only natural for a 6 year
old project.

Cheers,
