The theory is that there is a lot of copying going on in the server
and that a value object might solve some of this. It would also keep
for a nice bit of abstraction around data held by engines.
The current system is very optimized for MyISAM/HEAP, and there may,
or may not, be some gain in removing that to make the interface more
optimum for other engines. See the earlier thread about the contents
of row[] and the unireg in memory format.
Keep in mind that in all of the current trees MyISAM/HEAP are used as
internal temp tables and that any change could easily result in poor
performance in the core.
