[SQLObject] foreign key, string vs. object, circular references...

[Bud P. B. <bu...@si...>]

Ian,

I'm looking whether there is a solution to creating clean SQL for
Postgres and Foreign Keys that could still make it into 0.4.

In the documentation, you write: about foreignKeys:

    Pass a string with foreignKey, not the actual class. This avoids
    circular dependencies.

Really, it would be great to have the actual class instead of a string
here.  That way, it would be trivial to find out the table name...
What exactly are the problems of circular dependencies?  In the
person, phonenumber example, I see that phonenumber would reference
person, but I don't see any reference back from person to phonenumber.  

Thanks
