I spoke briefly with Ken about the multiple databases/database types
stuff, and we agreed that for the sake of simplicity, the object stuff
a la keytab/ccache wasn't really appropriate.

The specs don't mention wildcards since it's not clear exactly how to
specify them in a multi-component name (it's much easier with fixed-#
component names).  Wildcard support for retrieval can be done at a
higher level using the interation function.

Re: iteration.  This model is a bit cleaner, but doesn't have a "clean"
way to abort in the middle of an iteration; the flexibility of the
start/next/end can be used to emulate this behavior, though.

Re: structure names, principal vs. principals, etc.  I like "entry"
better; I proposed "principal" since that was used in the v4 stuff.
