I started doing this - I wrote a storeLookup(request_t *, callback) which
was designed to replace storeGet() and storeGetPublic() - I managed
to unwind the HTTP code use (I had to split some particular bit
of code up to handle being interrupted half way through, which
wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it'd be) but i then realised
that fast ICP replies would break (as.. well, figure it out. :)

My particular experiment was to try and push the decision of whether
to grab a file from disk or from an upstream out into storeLookup() -
ie, someone (client side) calls storeLookup() and gets back a StoreEntry+
MemObject which it can read the object from.

So, you've got my vote.. as long as you realise where I'll end up taking
all of this. :)
