Yeah, I considered ref() but wasn't sure how I'd be able to use the
result. If I did something like the following:

  my $pkg = ref $object;
  $pkg->retrieve(@cols);

wouldn't it cause problems with use strict? Hmm, a simple test seems to
indicate otherwise.

Which means that if you really wanted to create multiple instances of an
object, you'd need to remove it from the index after each retrieval.
