Configuring cursors will limit their flexibility in the face of different types of traversal: for example, can you think of an instance where you might want to review all records, ignoring duplicate data items, but for some specific data items, you do want to review all of the duplicates? BDB can do that, but WT won't be able to. (Unless you re-configure a cursor on the fly? Can you do that?)
