Just been learning about integer keys thanks to some excellent papers available
from Adager's website (thank you, Adager) and got to wondering.  How will the
integer key stuff be handled once Master Datasets can expand automatically?
If it goes of actuall dataset capacity, it seems that response could vary
wildly as the dataset expands.  Alternatively, if it goes off max set capacity,
it seems not unlikely that certain keys could map to places as yet unallocated.
