If you are going to add a Select() to the pagestore it would be
nice if it took other kinds of search parameters and were sturctured
something like this:



Select($namepats, $attpats)



where $namepats is equivalent to what the current $pats is for ls() and
the $attpats is an array indexed by attribute which contains an array
of patterns to match for that specific page attribute (which could
include the page text).  This seems particularly useful if things are
going to be stored in a db.

This would allow all indexing to be done at the pagestore level and appropriately optimized if in a DB.
