Bamboo.Prevalence - a .NET object prevalence engine

Here you can find a .NET implementation of the object prevalence concept. It seems to be an O-R mapping concept, without using an relational database as back end. I've looked at it briefly and it seems the trick is that all the objects are serialized and saved to disk. I like the idea behind it, but my concern is the lack of high performance search capabilities (such as indexes in a rdbms). But, as I said, I haven't tried it... Maybe someone else has any experiences with it?

Pretty cool stuff. I helped design a "transparent prevalence" engine that sits on top and automatically builds the command objects when using a contextbound objects (might be in there now). Still, I prefer a solid relational DB, but it is fun for experimental stuff.
