Berkeley DB storage?
Matt Campbell

I was wondering if it would be useful to implement a Berkeley DB storage
class for Durus.  I'm guessing Berkeley DB would be able to efficiently
handle a larger number of objects than the FileStorage class.  Also, it
probably wouldn't be necessary to pack the database file regularly to
prevent the file size from increasing without bound.  Besides, Berkeley
DB has been in production use for years.  Any thoughts on this
possibility?  A Berkeley DB storage class wouldn't necessarily replace
FileStorage, but it might be a good alternative.
