This raises an interesting question. What if we want to change lmdb
format in future (e.g. to address this weakness)? Do we need some sort
of versioning in lmdb database? I suppose you can always add "lmdb2"
backend that shares most of the code with current lmdb backend. Not
sure if that's what you had in mind though.
