I'm just watching this thread with interest and I've never even  
downloaded KirbyBase (though it does look interesting to me).  In  
short, feel free to completely ignore me here.

That said, KirbyBase is really just a programatic persistence tool,  
the way *I* see it.  If we were talking about an industrial strength  
DB, that would be one thing, but as it is *I* would be all for as  
many of Hal's programmer niceties as I could reasonably squeeze in.   
Heck "...the mini-DB with a built-in ORM layer!" would likely become  
something I would feel compelled to brag about.

I too am a programmer guy though, not a DB guy.
