Re: IndexedDB: updates through cursors on indexes that change the key

Surely the cursor should be atomic, representing the instant in time the
query executed. Any updates or deletes etc would not be visible to the
cursor, only to later queries. Then you can allow any modifications
including to keys and indexes.

Good points (against having it remove the original key if it changes).

After some more thought: The original idea behind cursor.delete() and
cursor.update() was that they would basically just be aliases for
objectStore.delete() and objectStore.put().  Maybe calling .update() with a
changed primary key should simply have the same behavior as .put().  Thus
the value corresponding to the original key would be left unmodified and the
new key would then correspond to the new value.

I can't think of any examples where the current behavior would get in
someone's way though.  So I guess maybe we should just leave it as is.  But
I still hate the idea of it being subtly different from being a straight up
alias to put.
