== File-based spatial index ==

Done in r38385 and r39148

== Direct OGR read access ==

Capability to read OGR layers directly without linking them via {{{v.external}}}. Example:

{{{
v.info map=~/shapefiles/@OGR layer=busstopsall
v.extract input=PG:dbname=nc_spm_08@OGR layer=busstopsall where="STREET_1 = 'William Moore Dr.'" output=b1
}}}

List of modules which supports direct OGR read access ((*) indicates work in progress):

 * {{{v.info}}}
 * {{{v.db.connect}}} - r39538
 * {{{v.extract}}} (*)
 * {{{v.db.select}}} (*) - r39556
  * TODO: {{{-r}}}

TODO

== Redesign support structures ==

Reduce memory requirements particularly for points and lines
