[elephant-devel] Memutil

[Ian Eslick]

This is a legacy component that plays very nicely with BDB.  It should  
be possible to abstract over buffer-streams so you could put a  
different serializer in place for, say, a lisp-only backend.  I  
haven't been highly motivated to do this yet given there hasn't been a  
driver for it.  Do you have a reason, other than good code hygiene,  
for having such an abstraction?

It will have to be done eventually whenever we get to a proper lisp  
backend, but I'd need a pretty compelling argument to put my own time  
into this anytime soon.  I'm happy to review a patch however!  :)

Thanks,
Ian
