That's a good point. I haven't had any experience with other ORM 
libraries, so ActiveRecord was the closest thing that came to 
mind.

I definitely do want to eventually capture some of ActiveRecord's 
features, but probably not all of them. I feel like the solution 
should be implemented in a way that fits well with a statically 
typed language, so I'll definitely have to drop some of the 
features. It won't be quite as nice to use, but it will be 
simpler in dome ways, which is one of my primary goals as a 
developer. Tools like ActiveRecord are more fun to use, but 
thinking of all the hash table lookups makes me cringe. :)

If and when the library matures, though, I might think about 
adding some more ActiveRecord-like features if enough people miss 
them.
