I don't think it /needs/ to be added, since as a scarecrow interface
it's just documentation.  But it couldn't hurt.  Jim had a reason for
not adding it, but I forget what that was (maybe the interface isn't
set in stone?).

In any event, both FileStorage and bsddb3Storage support the interface
now, and it should provide a means to touch every object in the
database.  It's used as a failsafe to copy the contents of one
storage to another (say, from a bsddb3Storage to a FileStorage).
