  One thing you really need to keep in mind:

	"the street finds its own uses for things"

It was thus said that the Great Konstantin Osipov once stated:

  And that is a problem ... why?  Keep in mind: the street finds its own
uses for things.  Why are you restricting what your users can store?

  Is this for persistence?
