Cool. Let's see what others think. And assuming we can pick *something* vaguely efficient and find a Perl hacker to implement it, a related question is how to expose it to our test suites. Should we figure out how to leave all our tests unchanged, by teaching $node->psql() et al to do caching implicitly? Or should we make it explicit, with $conn = $node->connect(), and $conn->do_stuff()? And if the latter, should do_stuff be DBI style or something that suits us better?
