This capability is really external to Dents, yes?  Once you implement
a MySQL module for Dents, then the rest of it is possible without the
server's having to be involved at all.  You might want for your module
to be informed by MySQL when changes occur, so that it can purge its
cache of those items, but other than that it would be easy.

More news on the module system later.
