I'd love to see a persistent "table" type together with some common primitives (select, join, union) and optimization capabilities. Currently a "set of maps" does something like that but I have no idea how to, for example, add an "index" to some particular field and use it in other operations.
Another thing is tying such a database to some on-disk storage. Is there any database backend that doesn't internally mutate data? Even if not, such a data type could still be useful as a read-only view for other databases.
