Ah. I didn't ask for that.

You see, there are about 30,000 new, cool and bleeding edge object persistence
/ object representation frameworks on CPAN, and I don't want the chapter to be
30,000 pages long. To avoid this, I had to make a selection, and the problem
with making selections is that it upsets people who wrote the things which
didn't get selected. I'm sorry about that. I tried to select a list of
frameworks which were either well known, widely used or well designed; you can
amuse yourself by guessing which category I filed each one into. The final
list was Alzabo, SPOPS, CDBI, Pixie, Class::Persist and Tangram, and I'm
afraid that's not negotiable. I have to make a selection somehow.

Implementing the stuff requested might be good for your framework anyway and
to check that it can really do all those things, but I'm afraid it won't get
it covered in the book. (although I will be naming some notable alternative
choice such as Rosetta in the last few paragraphs) Again, sorry about that,
but attempting to cover everything would be madness.

I've had to do this with templating toolkits too, and doubtless I've already
offended someone by my selection there as well.
