There's documentation there, allright, but the methods seem to be a bit 
shy of definition...
I can't even tell if any of the databases will accept integer values 
rather than string, much less object.  And many of the methods don't 
give any indication as to what the various parameters are supposed to 
look like method(p1, p2) isn't very explicit.  (I forget which method 
that was.  I was just checking out the site after your recommendation.)

That said, SOME of the methods seem reasonably, or even well, 
documented.  Presumably this is an ongoing project, but for now it's not 
really suitable as a primary reference.  Example code is needed to fill 
in the gaps.  Methods that don't occur in the examples are likely to 
require digging into the source.
