I rememebered and reread the docs. Deflation is documented better than
i lead on. If you dont explicitly set the deflate method the docs say
it will  deflate by stringifying.  Although i think if it is a CDBI
object it must deflate by calling 'obj->id' because otherwise my stuff
would not work as I override strinfify often.

So  i guess it is not too big a problem now anymore.
