-- marshal provides low-level data marshalling capabilities, but
-- for various reasons it's handy to have a higher-level interface
-- that allows us to register and retrieve data structures from
-- node or item metadata. this library provides that interface.

-- objstore consists of a single function that returns a structure
-- store. this structure-store should be saved to a variable, and
-- called upon to register or modify attributes. every node or item
-- that contains metadata contains a list of attached structures,
-- which themselves contain a list of attached records. this allows
-- structures to be extended at will without disrupting existing
-- metadata storage.

-- WARNING: this is likely incompatible with the StorageRef backend,
-- which uses json -- need to figure out how to make the marshalling
-- format compatible
