hm, no. I need something to store simple and compound types, like int,
fload, arrays and dictionaries. talloc arrays and names were all I
needed to build something working on top.

Was an ad-hoc design though with no focus on anything else then having
a working solution as quickly as possible.

Off the top of my head I guess it's not a natural candidate for
implementing such a object store on top of a key/value database, but
I'll think about it.

I've been thinking of a clean redesign in the past days, but all I've
got so far is a name: tobject, again based on talloc. ;)
