Sure :)

My main idea is that as much of the metadata as possible should be
implicit... I.e. the sql database itself should provide enough
structural information. E.g. by doing

  class Person(Persistent):
      table = 'person'

you'd be all set... (And even the table name could be extracted from
the class name, I guess... ;)

I'm not sure if this is the best way of doing things, but I think it
would be interesting to investigate it. (It's quite close to ZODB in
some ways, I guess... But somehow I think it would be nice to have an
ORDBMS as backend...)
