ActiveRecord makes different mistakes to Class::DBI, but prefetch isn't
one of them given it solves the 1+100 queries issue.

Class::DBI::Sweet attempts to correct some of the mistakes of Class::DBI
without introducing too many of its own; DBIx::Class is gradually evolving
towards making its whole own new set of mistakes, but hopefully makes very
few of the same ones as Class::DBI or ActiveRecord :)
