- The on_remote flag of references should be infered when the
  local property is a primary key (or part of it?).

- Allow something like Int(unique=True), so that it may be used for
  cached gets (perhaps with get(Class.the_key, value), or
  get(Class, value, attribute=Class.the_key).

- Unicode(autoreload=True) will mark the field as autoreload by default.

- Lazy-by-default attributes:

  class C(object):
      ...
      attr = Unicode(lazy=True)

  This would make attr be loaded only if touched.

  Or maybe lazy groups:

  class C(object):
      ...
      lazy_group = LazyGroup()
      attr = Unicode(lazy=True, lazy_group=lazy_group)

  Once one of the group attributes are accessed all of them are retrieved
  at the same time.

  Lazy groups may be integers as well:

  class C(object):
      ...
      attr = Unicode(lazy_group=1)

  lazy_group=None means not lazy.

- Implement ResultSet.reverse[d]() to invert order_by()?

- Add support to cyclic references when all of elements of the cycle are
  flushed at the same time.

- Implement support for negative caches to tell when an object
  isn't available.

- Implement support for complex removes and updates with Exists().

- Log SQL statements and Store actions.

- Support for quoted strings.

- Option to keep object in cache until explicitly removed?

- Implement store.copy()

- Implement must_define in properties.

- Implement slicing ([:]) in BoundReferenceSet

- Handle $foo$bar$foo$ literals

- Could Reference(Set)s include a "where" clause? Readonly perhaps?

- Make the primary key for a class be optional. If it's not provided
  the object isn't cached and updates aren't tracked.

- Between()

- Automatic class generation, perhaps based on Django's inspectdb:

  http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/legacy_databases/
  http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/django_admin/

- Support allow_microseconds=False in DateTime properties/variables.

- Support allow_self in Reference and ReferenceSet, and default
  to false.

- Set operations in ReferenceSets (suggested by Stephan Diehl):

  accessGroups = set([grp1, grp2, grp3])
  if usr.groups & accessGroups:
      doSomething

- Think about something like a store.cache(...) method with the same
  signature of store.find(...) which stores objects in the cache so
  that they don't get deallocated during the current transaction.  The
  Cache class interface would have to be expanded to handle these cases
  in a special way.
