i don't think you should be able to read those objects.

1) what happens if the rucksack is modified by someone else who has,
   at a later time, opened it?

2) what happens when i want to read a "forward-pointer"?

i think it would be better, simpler to implement and reason about, to
require all interaction with persistent objects to happen within a
transaction.

p.s. i may be jumping into this discussion late and i may have missed
something in one of the previous mails.
