- Can use it as a decorator

- Can omit the label, and get the label from the assertion function.

- You can now pass storage keyword arguments to ZODB.DB and
  ZODB.connection.

- You can now pass None (rather than a storage or file name) to get

Added timeout thread liveness to server status

- Improved ZEO server commit lock logging.  Now, locking activity is
  logged at the debug level until the number of wating lock requests
  gets above 3.  Log at the critical level when the number of waiting
  lock requests gets above 9.

- ZEO servers no longer log their pids in every log message. It's just
