Brainstorm: cw-storage-plus support when key can be derived from stored object about cw-plus HOT 2 CLOSED

Sounds good to me.
This could make a nice API, but would be a much different design than we have now.
Someone could build a storage-plus alternative if they wished to really make something like SQL indexes

from cw-plus.

I don't think this is a good idea in the end, because the pk must be unique. Relying on the first data item either wouldn't guarantee uniqueness, or would force you to introduce an id or pk field at the beginning of it. Which will not only take space as data, but will also be equally or even more difficult to deal with, than specifying the pk directly.

I think the only way this could be an improvement, is if we implement automatic numerical ids, like the AUTO_INCREMENT feature of numerical fields, in relational databases. That would probably make sense, but it will require a good level of redesign. Perhaps even a different data structure.

So, I am of the opinion of closing this without changes.
