More importantly, an Entry* from the database is a write handle into the
database which other modules *must not* make use of. If they do, the
write happens even if the database never makes a decision to write
anything. E.g. in a search operation if overlay rwm meddles a bit too
deeply. Though that problem can be fixed with... sigh, an entry cache.
Not necessarily. We can mmap memory ranges with read-only access. That means
whenever we modify an entry, we must duplicate it first, but that's already
how things work now.
