Statice internals question

[rshapiro@arris.com (Richard Shapiro)]

Given a Statice db path and a RID in that db, what's the fastest way
to get (or create) the handle for the entity that has that RID? Is
there a built-in inverse reader that will do this? I don't want to
loop (via for-each) over every object in the database, and I'm not
sure I could even if I did want to, since our dbs typically have many
kinds of objects with no common root type (ie there's no single type
to do a for-each on).
