Ok here's the patch for those who are interested.

Sometime this week I'm going to try and get this working with
Class::DBI::AbstractSearch (most likely in a similar way to the current
search/search_like in IsA.pm) so I'll probably be sending an updated
patch when that's complete.

I've also got a patch for Class::DBI::FromCGI to get it to do the right
thing when executing create_from_cgi on a class with an is_a
relationship, but it still needs a little work.  I'm going to hold off
sending that patch until things solidify a bit with
Class::DBI::Relationship::IsA though.

Cheers,
-James
