- I thought that a big part of the reason we got rid of filenames was
so we would use arbitrary table / db names that were not restricted by
the file system / OS.  Using links would then return this restriction.

- What is the format for the table?  Could we write a tool that can
read the tables raw in case of a 'HARD' crash?  One could then walk the
table by hand as need.  Can someone give me information on the schema
for the files?  i'll take a look at it.  There may also be a way to
then use WAL files to do some more serious recovery.

Thoughts?
