That's very cool and encouraging. The current APIs are, at best,
inelegent. _p_jar and _p_changed come to mind. :)

I spoke to someone at EuroPython who was working on an EOF persistence
framework. He seemed to want an observer mechanism to enforce integrity
constraints.  BTW, I think that there was some interest on a standard Python
observer mechanism that could, possibly allow the persistence mix-in
to be avoided.

I'd like to formulate a cleaner interface between the caching architecture
and the persistance framework. For example, currently, the persistence interface
includes cache-specific data, which is silly.
