Add an interface to accept a "key" and a byte stream, rather than a filename. -Provide a sane syntax for date ranges. First, we don't want to require -both endpoints to be specified. For example it would be nice to be -able to say things like "since:2009-01-1" or "until:2009-01-1" and -have the other endpoint be implicit.
