[elephant-devel] Deferred indexing

[Ian Eslick]

I looked at doing this earlier when I was implementing the proxy  
mechanism for elephant.  The assumption of persist values on each slot  
access is pretty baked into Elephant.  You'd have to get inside the  
slot access protocols, initialization protocols and who knows what  
else.  If you can see a reasonably simple solution to this, I'm all  
for it, but I wasn't able to see it the last time I looked.

Also, I think there are bigger fish to fry here for now...
