Hmm, so how about a function:

LocalID DmFindAnyDatabase(UInt CardNo, ConstCharPtr Name = 0, DWord Creator
= 0, DWord Type = 0)
that would return the first database that matched the arguments, where any
(but not all) of them could be NULL/0.
If you specified name and one or more of the other args, if a database is
located with that name but an incorrect creator/type the function returns
0.  (I don't know how this would fit in with
DmGetNextDatabaseByTypeCreator() or similar).
I suspect it may be nice if people wanted to look through all their "ddoc"
'files' or something.
