  2           ======
  3           
  4               -	Fix case sensitivity problems in repository (just add an _Open method

  7 mike  1.5     -	Add newly implemented repository operations to protocol and to
  8           	dispatcher.

 33 mike  1.1 
 34               -	Double check that all these operations work across protocol.
 35           

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

 37 mike  1.1 
 38           -   Associations:
 39           

 40 mike  1.5     -	Implement CIMRepository::referencesOf()

 41 mike  1.1 

 42 mike  1.5     -	Implement CIMRepository::associatorsOf()

 46           -   Exceptions:
 47           

 48 mike  1.5     -	Force __FILE__ and __LINE__ argument on every usage of CIMException.

 49 mike  1.2 

 50 mike  1.1     -	Clean up and consolidate exception classes.
 51           

 52 mike  1.5     -	Propagate underlying error messages across the CIM protocol.

 53 mike  1.1

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

 96 mike  1.5     -	Perform walkthrough to expose consistency problems.

 97 mike  1.1
