Haha ;-) perhaps the comparison is apt. the registry code stores
information about types (it is only used for this now), in an horrible
binary file format originally designed to be a transactional E-mail
store ;-) code in 'store'.
It would be rather wonderful to replace that with a real file-system
based approach IMHO, although we would want to collapse the leaf nodes
into some XML representation I think. That would (I suspect) make this
code faster and smaller and we could drop the 'store' and 'registry'
modules compeltely (except for legacy extensions) which would be nice
from a performance, and cleanliness perspective.
HTH,
Michael.
