[elephant-devel] Status of elephant-unstable

[Ian Eslick]

The branch now passes 97% of the tests.  Failures all revolve around  
interactions between schema evolution (change-class, redefine-class,  
etc) and indexing which hasn't been implemented yet.  No tests for the  
new stuff yet, of course, but it's in good enough shape to play with.   
Specifically, persistent slots, transient slots, indexed slots, the  
indexing API and set-valued slots should all work.

Robert motivated me to add a :cache option and created a cached-slot  
type which seems to work!  If you try to enable :cache it will warn  
you, but there is an option to continue anyway.  Repeated cached reads  
seem to run into the millions per second vs. 10k's per second for  
reads into the db.

Cheers,
Ian
