There are some secondary architectural issues that are more  
complicated and involve how the system keeps track of mismatches  
between a data store and a class definition, how class re-definition  
is handled to add/drop indices, etc.

Great!  I've implemented #1-3 already and #4 is easy.  I am just  
testing them now.  If you turn off multi-store support everything  
passes, just a few snafus in the multi-store case.

I'll take care of that when I check in the new code.
