What you are describing is [was] SMS.

Even with the opaque structure, we are still facing derefs that will
significantly alter performance.

Definately look in CVS's attic for the original implementation to
start with.

We don't have the time to implement this in the current Apache
release cycle [2.0.40] given the issues people raised with the
original SMS implementation.  I suggest that -if- we prove this
is viable, we introduce it with the rollout of version 1.0.
