Yes I agree that using real pointers in database files is problematic
at best... A true OODB we are not talking about here... even most of
those do remapping to some intrinsic data type like a long or
something else and assign an unique value to the object and reference
it via this handle.

But if there were some other neat new way to externally describe
structures (namely so I can use the Prefix keyword) then Whooo hooo
life would be just ducky!

This is just a play project anyway... something to keep my mind from
rusting too bad :-) It has been interesting play though :-)
