Thanks for the tip - I actually did find this one when I started using
this, however I found it on another page that hadn't been updated (that
I ironically can't find now), so I wrongfully assumed that it was
abandoned. I did find the github page, but I wasn't thrilled by it.

Pros for opticron's:
	Much more idiomatic code
	Supports D1
	Much better unit tests
Pros for mine (highly based on opinion):
	Exposes slightly more convenient helpers
	(In my opinion) slightly easier to read
	Generated code looks like a POD struct, though with some "hidden"
attributes (optional variables support .clean(), .exists(), instead of
looking like myStruct.foo_exists())

Basically, mine is much more simplistic, which is both good and bad. I'd
like to improve mine a bit more, and the one you pointed me at is pretty
good. It gave me some things to improve on.
