+=head1 INTENTIONS
 
   - should encapsulate Tangram, DBI, DBD::CSV and LWP:: to access them in an unordinary (more convenient) way ;)
   - introduce a generic layered structure, refactor *SUBLAYER*-stuff, make (e.g.) this possible:
     Perl Data::Storage[DBD::CSV]  ->  Perl LWP::  ->  Internet HTTP/FTP/*  ->  Host Daemon  ->  csv-file
   - provide generic synchronization mechanisms across arbitrary/multiple storages based on ident/checksum
     maybe it's possible to have schema-, structural- and semantical modifications synchronized???
-
+  - might be similar to http://sourceforge.net/projects/perl-repository

 =head1 TODO
 
+  o interface with Jeff Zucker's AnyData:: modules, e.g. AnyData::Storage::RAM
+  o what about DBD::RAM? (DBD::RAM - a DBI driver for files and data structures)
+  o use DBD::Proxy!
+  o what about DBIx::AnyDBD?
+  o enhance schema information:
+    - DBIx::SystemCatalog
+    - DBIx::SystemCatalog::MSSQL?
