RE: [FR-devel] Database slot-type addtion

[Rich Kilmer]

I will be committing this to CVS later (movie first!)

All implemented (and documented), but needs testing.

Adds to slot:

#slot.put(key, value)
#slot.get(key) #=> value
#slot.remove(key)
#slot.clear #=> removes all items from hash, queue, stack
#slot.is_hash_slot?
#slot.hash #=> turn slot into hash slot and return HashWrapper

Extra method on HashWrapper:

myHash = {1=>"me", 2=>"you}
slot.hash.set_hash(myHash)

so you can set up a hash quickly
