FnDB

Basic api:

• db(connection, branch)
• db.bucket(name) => bucket => bucket<unknown> - keep different kinds of data separate
• bucket.schema(unknown => T) => bucket<T> - ensure your data has the type you expect
• bucket.withSchemas((unknown => T)[]) => view<T> - ensure your data has the type you expect
• (db | bucket | view).map((a, prev) => { key, b } | {key, b}[]) => view - map over a set of objects to produce another set of objects, possibly referencing previous versions
• (db | bucket | view).index(name, (a) => key) => view - map over a set of objects to produce an index which can be used for filtering
• (db | bucket | view).filter(key, Matcher) => view - return only records where key matches the matcher
• db.commit() - bump the current commit version
• db.merge(branch) - merge branch into this branch

FnDB is a library of basic data types which can be backed by memory or a database for event sourcing or functional programming.

Basic idea:

create a function reduce(set, fn, args) the fn should convert any args which are collections into proxies for a collection.

Note: this needs to go along with a set of immutable collections because otherwise we can't be sure what is happening...
