I agree, but there's a fair chunk of refactoring to do it properly, so I'd
rather wait until we do that - better to have a known bug than be stuck with
crufty code we'll have to maintain compatibility with (remember that cruft
accumulation was basically what killed Class::DBI, and I really don't want
to have to write -another- ORM :).
