This is a unique queryable and transparent storage system for XOTcl
with various storage backends. Getting the balance between relational 
databases and object models is often tedious and error-prone. Storm takes
the approach that it is enough to just mark the class which you want to
store, and the system will take care of the rest. Storm automatically writes
changes to the storage, and automatically restores objects which have been
referred to, without the programmer needing to care. There is also
limited support for querying objects belonging to a specific class, based on
various criteria.

The programmer can mostly not care about what happens. Only using querying 
if needed. The only thing they should be aware of is that if they wish
the object to be totally destroyed (both from memory, and storage), the
should call the [objName annihilate] method, instead of [objName destroy].

[objName destroy] can be used to remove objects from memory. They will
automatically be brought back into memory if required.

Currently there are two backends: FileStorage (does not support querying)
and SqliteStorage.

See test.tcl for some simple examples.

Note that this is not even beta, but early alpha. While what is there works,
anything can change. It is released for fellow developers to experiment
with and to submit changes.
