    Add support for persistent weak references.  The implementation is in
    pure Python right now; coptimizations.c was disabled.  We need to
    restore the C code before going to beta.
    
    The persistent reference format has evolved a little, but the code on
    the branch doesn't document it.  The ref is usually a an oid-class
    pair, where the class is an actual class object.  It can also be a
    list, for weak references, or a bare oid.
    
    Add support for data managers written against the ZODB4 transaction
    API.  The transaction implementation provides an adapter between the
    two interfaces.  There's a substantial doctest test suite for this
    feature.
    
    Add add() method to Connection to explicitly add an object and get it
    an assigned _p_oid.  It's possible to add an unconnected object; this
    isn't recommended, because it will be lost at pack time.
