Does this remark imply that there are users who are really planning
on using the sql backend real soon now?  I have had trouble
understanding whether this really, truly an interesting feature
for anyone.

dimwit question: are you sure you want to make your configs global?
It seems it might be nice to have different configs on different

I'm balking, mostly because I'm feeling lazy about implementing this.

I'm thinking that a couple of un-interrupted evenings would do the
trick, or a long weekend.   Started adding priceb, but stopped because
back then, there was no way to test it out ...

I don't want to make promises right now, but I aven't forgotten, and
hope to get to it soon.
