Bug description

Hi,

dbm/ndbm supports different databases-schemes:

  • Hash
  • Btree
  • Recno

(See "man 3 dbopen" and the other manpages
for hash, btree and recno, accordingly.)

In Ocaml's Dbm-module I only found hash-like DBMs.
It's nice to have this module, but other schemes,
at least btree, also would be fine.

A sorted nextkey-output would be fine...
...and an iter that also has a predictable order of operation.
With btree-like fileformat this should be possible.

Would be fine to have all Dbm-options available in Ocaml. :)

Thanks.

DBM is no longer part of the core OCaml distribution, and has not been for some number of years.
