Yeah!

(In fact, when writing that this was a snag of ZODB, I *nearly* also wrote
something like "but doubtless someone will provide a workaround for this
when it becomes too incovenient". I didn't because (a) my email was already
too long, and (b) I wasn't *sure* it was technically possible to make the
work round trivial for users. I shouldn't have worried - that time machine
can be so confusing.)

OK - I've lost one snag, so here's a new one (although much less
important) - it's not clear (from the web pages) how to install the ZODB if
one *doesn't* care about Zope in general - *presumably* one has to download
the standard Zope distribution and just answer some questions?

I still think someone should be pushing this more...

ZODB - "Nyah! Nyah! *My* variables last longer than *your* variables."
My views! Mine! Mine! (Unless Laser-Scan ask nicely to borrow them.)
