Trying to sort out a complex bug in Ferreteria -- a thing gets set to a wrapper instead of the target-object somewhere, but the error shows up later when it's retrieved. How is it getting set wrong in the first place? (...or maybe it's being retrieved incorrectly?)

Relevant messages:

• Got to AnObject.php line 31 in (id124) cMaria->RegisterThis()
  • Signing in hetz1 as cMaria in roster class cDbList
• Got to QStor.php line 43 in (id93) cDbList->SetIt() SETTING [hetz1] = [object (id124) of class cMaria in cQDbConn
• PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: cQDbConn::SetIt(): Argument #1 ($o) must be of type iConn, cQDbConn given, called in Keyed.php on line 51 and defined in QDbConn.php:28
  • Keyed.php line 51: $os->SetIt($this->ar[$snKey]);

The immediate problem was that this line was referencing the array-element ($this->ar[$snKey]) directly, instead of via $this->GetIt(). That works for DStor classes, but not for QStor -- because each element in a QStor is a QVar wrapper for the final value, rather than the value itself.

After fixing this, the problem now is that it returns a cQDbConn where an iQDbOper is expected -- but this represents an intentional change started elsewhere, so it makes sense. It's now just a matter of updating the QDbOper expectations to QDbConn.

There was another potential problem with confusion between DbConn and DbComm. To avoid this, I'm renaming DbComm stuff to DbDatex.
