Cool. Thanks Brad :)
You know this means you are the official owner of the databinding code now,
right? ;)

How about adding

Databinder.setTraverseLazy(boolean)

Thats more flexible and avoids complexifying SessionFactory interface.

P.S.  Something I've never understood properly is why on earth the Session
interface has two methods suspendFlushes() / resumeFlushes() instead of the
much saner setAutoFlush(boolean) ......

Who designed this shit??!!!?

I'll have to do some deprecation there at some stage. Not sure *what* I was
smoking that day......
