I had provided some feedback to the author when he was working on 
it and it does some interesting things. I feel like it really 
needs someone who cares about doing analysis in D with Dataframes 
to take over and continue making improvements. An evaluation of 
the performance capabilities would help identify what is good 
about magpie and what would need to get improved.

Ideally, some of this work would get incorporated into mir. Mir 
has some basic time series functionality and you can make 
homogenous Dataframes (although there might be some functionality 
that is missing compared to magpie). However, mir does not really 
have an easy way to handle heterogenous types in the columns. 
Magpie does and it is important for many practical uses of 
Dataframes.
