afaik it's going to be up to us to do that stuff - in whatever form we
choose. However the "dbExpress vs BDE" section says "Unlike the BDE,
dbExpress returns only unidirectional cursors and therefore does no caching.
The MIDAS ClientDataset can be used for caching, and scrolling, indexing,
and filtering on the result set."
They also talk about connection pooling in the conclusion. My guess is that
it will be pretty "bare metal" on the first release and become easier to use
in subsequent releases.

Thats fine but what are they coupling it to since it only supplies forward
(firehose?) only cursors
I assume it will be Midas in some form
