It's Greg's ("Pink"); I was having fun with him because of course I know
he knows about it. :)
He's done some fine work on it. There's a forum thread about it, which
includes a link to the Github repo:

Lots of good fodder in the SQL-vs-nonSQL debate.
My favorite is Sarah Mei's oft-cited blog post, "Why You Should Never
Use MongoDB":
<http://www.sarahmei.com/blog/2013/11/11/why-you-should-never-use-mongodb/>
She raises some excellent points, told with real-word stories to back
'em up, and I agree with everything she wrote.
I still use key-value stores where they're a good fit, but at least I'm
aware of the trade-offs.
