mnesia_leveldb is scheduled for OTP 19? That's great news!

I can't tell you how many times I've cursed at the overfilled-hours-ago-but-mnesia-didnt-care DETS table shard. Getting a on-disk backend that can store more than 2GB at a time will be great!

It'll be even better if the writer code actually notices failures to write to the backing store and aborts transactions when they happen! [0] :)

[0] Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to ignore the return value from dets:insert/2? :(
