Well, sugar.datastore would clash with the toolkit, but we could and
should have chosen some other name. As it's code private to the
datastore service, could have been a nonsense name like hulahop or
jarabe.

But when I started rewriting the old one, I kept the same name and
forgot to change it later, sorry :(

Maybe it's not too late to change it?
