just to open up a whole new bucket of worms here, but ... if we do use OID
(which up until this thought I endorse 100%) ... do we not run a risk if
we run out of OIDs? As far as I know, those are still a finite resource,
no?
or, do we just assume that by the time that comes, everyone will be pretty
much using 64bit machines? :)
