//  An example using the Metakit C++ persistence library

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
//  This code demonstrates:
//
//    - Creating a persistent view and adding two data rows to it.
//    - Adding a third data row using Metakit's operator shorthands.
//    - Adding an additional property without losing the existing data.
//    - Storing an additional view in the data file later on.
//    - Inserting a new record into one of the views in the datafile.
//    - Real persistence, the data file will grow each time this is run.
