Hmm... I'm not exactly clear what an abstract base class is.  Is there a
particular problem you are trying to solve?

The problem with two classes for one table is that it's very ambiguous. 
Generally a row is an instance, and an instance is a row, very
one-to-one.  That gets very mucky with multiple classes for one table.

I feel like this should be possible to handle in one class, even if it
may not feel as object-oriented (but it can probably be just as
polymorphic, which is the better half of OO, even if it doesn't have a
"proper" class hierarchy, which isn't very important).
