Can you explain why it's not possible? Is it that there's no requirement to populate the table in advance of references to keys? Given that forward references are possible, I would think that the table must be fully populated at some point--that is, that even in a lazy implementation a call to keys("key-name") would have the effect of forcing population of the table from which a list of the unique keys could be retrieved.
