+    STATUS 
+     o what is the behaviour in CommonSQL (esp :full parameter)? 
+
+
+ >> The functional sql interface 
+  
+    SELECT 
+      o keyword arg :refresh should function as advertised 
+      o should return (values result-list field-names)
+      o should coerce values returned as strings to appropriate lisp type
+
+    QUERY 
+      o should coerce values returned as strings to appropriate lisp type
+       (except for SQLite interface, this works when :result-types is :auto).
+       Perhaps that should be the default?
+
+ >> The object-oriented sql interface
+
+    DEF-VIEW-CLASS
+      o get :target-slot working 
+      o implement :retrieval :immediate 
+
+    DO-QUERY,MAP-QUERY,LOOP
