I just have to say first that I've really enjoyed reading these  
planning messages of yours Hal.  It's clear you have a vision and  
know what you want.  I can't wait to see the results.

That said, I don't understand the full vision, so forgive my dumb  
question.

The whole time I'm reading your posts though I keep thinking you just  
want:

   File.open("objects", "w") do |file| Marshal.dump(whatever, file) end

Or YAML.  Or PStore if you also want transactions.

Can you explain how what you want differs from this?
