Comment (by Kelson):

 Olly, thank you for your feedback. I think I perfectly agree with you. In
 our use case for example, we would need to pass strings, nothing to do
 with the filesystem at all.

 Considering that the ticket is still open, I assume this is a path you are
 still wanting to follow, isn't it?

 If you or any other senior dev of Xapian would have to do it (and assuming
 you could/would), how many days of work would you estimate to be able to
 release a first version?

 Assuming this first version would have been released, could I assume this
 new library will be maintained by the core Xapian team?
