Yes. But I asked for comments on the approach, not political rubbish and
second-hand mutterings from people who hadn't bothered looking at the code.

It feels like slashdot on here today.

But not with the same approach, I don't think. So let's see whether we can
either make something cool with it, or learn why we can't.

I have, in fact, seen all of these. I've written test code using several,
and read the source for more. Some of them are rather cool. If you're
mapping objects onto a database rather than the other way round,
Class::Tangram is very nice indeed.

This path is a bit different. Where it ends up, we'll find out shortly.
