It doesn't make any sense to create another module for this. As well, 
some of these features don't make sense (e.g. I'm not sure what len() 
on a table is supposed to tell me [number of columns perhaps?], but 
len() on a SelectResults is already done by using the count() method on 
an instance.)

Just ask Ian for checkin privileges (if you don't already have), write 
unit tests to demonstrate how you want your new features to work, and 
add them and the code that passes those tests to SQLObject directly.
