oof.  ZPatterns does daunt me, I admit, and perhaps it is because of the
aspect oriented and "meta-framework" perspective.  I can't help but admire
the ideas and planning behind it, though, and look forward to seeing if I am
up to it intellectually at this point, and further to seeing if it is of
practical help for me.

Thank you for your "transactional caching" explanation, Michael.  Not
knowing the full term, I was putting together the word parts to create an
inaccurate definition.  It sounds useful as a general optimization, but in
my case, as you say, something that would be used in addition to, not
instead of, a Zcatalog-like persistent cache.  Steve, does that sound right?

The ZPatterns' racks, btw, seem to match a design decision I had already
made for some other reasons, so I'm eager to explore further.  I look
forward to having the time later this week to dig in to it.

Thanks
Gary
