I had this implemented in my previous index hack in mnesia.
I'm putting it into rdbms now. You will be able to specify
a unique index on a secondary key. It will abort if the
value is not unique to the current object.

These index tabs will also support fragmentation, and will
attempt to do index lookups on fragmented tables as
efficiently as possible (find the index fragment with the
given index value, then rpc only to the fragments with
corresponding objects.)
