some improvements about pickledb HOT 2 CLOSED

The name of the db is irrelevant at this point.
Today it's json tomorrow may be tomorrows fancy format.
I agree that it is a bit misleading because of the existence of the pickle module.

I've applied changes that put everything in a class: https://github.com/medecau/pickledb/commit/694cbbcf5c33364773faafbbb2357d41fd5aaa41

I agree with the point about too many I/O ops, I have some ideas about fixing this: Timed updates, forced updates(like @jabbalaci suggested) and or update inside __del__()

Regarding comments to the functions take a look at: https://github.com/medecau/pickledb/commit/feefa83a70b64ef7181cda1cd2d813004bdfc0f8

medecau's fork is really good and basically does everything this suggestion says. The last commit added the "dump" function is really good.
