  5            

  6 mike  1.3      -	Fix case sensitivity problems in repository (just add an _Open method

 19 mike  1.1  Topical To-Do List
 20            ==================
 21            

 22 mike  1.12     - 	GetInstances() and GetClasses() need to use iterators on 
 23            	provider and repository end. Otherwise, all classes or instance
 24            	to be enumerated, must be sucked into memory.
 25                

 26 mike  1.10     -   Template bloat reduction.
 27

 53 mike  1.5      -	Check that they have keys during validation.

 54 mike  1.1

 77 mike  1.1  	example:
 78            
 79            	    X.key1="Hello \"You\""

105 mike  1.5      -	Change getLength() and getSize() to just size(): "Brevity is the soul

107            

108 mike  1.5      -	Add methods to get objects by their names, in addition to index. For

109 mike  1.1  	example:

112

114 mike  1.1  

115 mike  1.5      -	Distinguish between private and public classes (otherwise, users may

116 mike  1.1  	come to depend on classes with unstable interfaces).
