+# To get this to work a minor rewrite of find() is necessary, and
+# more importantly some sort of recursive_insert() call needs to 
+# be available. The way things will work then is:
+# *) while traversing the hierarchy code calls find_or_create()
+# *) this in turn calls find(%\nested_dataset)
+# *) this should return not only the existing object, but must
+#    also attach all non-existing (in fact maybe existing) related
+#    bits of data to it, with in_storage => 0
+# *) then before returning the result of the succesful find(), we
+#    simply call $obj->recursive_insert and all is dandy
