Well, I read the very same docs you did (I presume), and I never got the impression that it
would store objects. Interesting how we saw two entirely different things in the docs.
And frankly, I wouldn't want it to store objects. The design is clean... adding blessings alongside would clutter up the protocols needed to access the existing metadata. If you send it an "export" call, should it be DBM::Deep's export, or the native object export? That's the kind of confusion you'd get by permitting objects in the mix.
