Also, fsdb[1] does its own mutual exclusion, both for ruby threads and 
for separate processes, so it would not be necessary to bottleneck all 
access through one process using DRb.

Another useful feature is that you can define a mapping from file path 
patterns to handlers for different serializations. So .yml can be 
treated as YAML, .mar as Marshal, and so on for .csv, .txt, .jpg, etc.
