-    which is an experimental alternate Muldis DB API that is more dwimmy,
-    less verbose, and generally more pleasant to use than vanilla PHMD;
-    this would be made by the developers of the core, and be high priority.
+    * (SeeAlso.pod)  A few minor updates.
 
     * Incremented all copyright year range-ends to 2008.

-
-The Muldis DB native API, as presented by the C<Muldis::DB::Interface>
-roles, is quite verbose.  It by default just accepts Muldis D code
-formatted as vanilla Perl Hosted Muldis D tuple and relation values that
-are of Muldis D system catalog data types.  While this format is simple and
-yet very expressive, unambiguous, easy to validate and translate, it tends
-to be non-dwimmy and require a programmer's intent spelled out for it,
-which increases code size an order of magnitude over a dwimmy equivalent,
-and also all expression trees have to be decomposed into a tagged list of
-tree nodes (a tuple or relation value is always a fixed composite depth
-rather than N-depth), which HLL programmers may find less friendly.
-
-The C<MuldisX::DB::Simple> module is an abstraction over I<Interface> which
-adds a considerable amount of dwimminess to it, and adds support for
-writing expressions as actual N-depth trees, and adds a considerable amount
-of huffmanization and common task shortcuts; this greatly reduces the size
-of the Muldis D code that programmers would actually write on a day to day
-basis, and make it more resemble other high-level languages.
-
-Unlike other such modules, C<Simple> is written by the creators of the
-Muldis D core itself.  Some of its concepts may make their way into the
-core roles as an additional API option, but meanwhile they are in the
-separately distributed (under the same LGPL license) C<Simple> where they
-can be experimented on more freely without unduly complicating the core
-(and encouraging competition). C<Simple> is a top priority for
-implementation, as it should help to test the core as well as help get the
-initial user base off the ground faster.
-
-In regards to what huffmanization and common task shortcuts are provided by
-C<Simple>, a lot of influence should be taken from the variety of existing
-C<DBI> or SQL wrappers on CPAN whose mandate is to make them simpler or
-more dwimmy, such as C<SQL::Abstract>.  In fact, while full emulation isn't
-promised, C<MuldisX::DB::Simple> may provide quasi-clones of several of
-such module's interfaces, so to help migration of people using them.  As
-with those other modules, C<Simple> will provide pass-thru when it doesn't
-have any special treatments for things that programmers want to do.
-
-In the longer term, C<MuldisX::DB::Simple> is deprecated (at least under
-that name) in favor of better solutions, independent or otherwise.
