Well, I understand what it does ...

For me to make progress on this, I'm going to need interfaces and  
tests.  I don't think I can write these, in part, because there isn't  
any explicit contract that the current patch implements/leverages.

I'd like to see an interface that describes the extra/alternate  
interface that relstorage exposes to ZODB.  I'd also like to see some  
tests that verify that ZODB is exercising the interface correctly.  It  
would probably be best to start with the interface.  I'll likely want  
to iterate on that first before we start working on tests.
