Well, containers matter for almost every program, whereas 
databases don't. They matter for a lot of programs, but many 
programs don't have them. And we already have std.container, even 
if it needs more work. So, I think that it would make more sense 
if we std.container were completed than to emark on std.database. 
And we've been saying for years now (be it right or wrong) that 
one of the main reasons that we weren't doing more with 
std.container is that we were expecting to have to change it 
after std.allocator was done. So, it seems well past time that 
std.container gets sorted out. Of course, that doesn't 
necessarily mean that you need to be the one who does it, but you 
are the one who started it, so it would make sense if you tackled 
it next.
