Actually I would appreciate an approach where we prototype in userland  
as much as possible for such highlevel stuff and focus on moving  
bottlenecks into C along with the stuff that is not possible in  
userland.

There is a lot of good code for introspecting database schemas inside  
the MDB2 code base ready to steal.
