A trie is much less than a database, but certainly is often a key
component of a database.

I'm sure that a separate implementation could be done, but it would be a
lot harder, and require much of the same squid alterations as an
in-squid implementation. Also, most external implementations would end
up reproducing large chunks of squid (the aio / diskd / pthread+ufs io
logic for starters) which are not currently separate.

Regardless of the path, any implementation would need to be done in a
devel branch initially, and only considered for merging as part/all is
ready.
