BTW, for those of you who have found Neo's writings fairly opaque, let me suggest that it's because he only shows you his interface, and not his underlying implementation.
I expect that, when he finally gets around to showing us his implementation, he'll tell us that the whole thing is implemented in a single line of source code! I forget his syntax, but the one line implementation will look like this:
{new 'dbd 'database_server}
And system does the rest!
