Jeff,

What is the 'view trick' y'all are talking 'bout? If it eliminates the 16 param limit on __new that would be great. Since my code would be autogenerated, I certainly don't care about much more than the ability to automatically create the view and know how to use it.

(BTW although there is a 16 param limit per function, you can have as many __new functions as you want. As long as the call to qw::new includes a list of params possible in one of these functions it will work. )

I don't care to use any more pl than is necessary, and as I probably already mentioned for updates I will eliminate most pl, except something like 'where my_object__object_p('1234') = true' type of thing to ensure editing objects through the correct method.

If anyone else has suggestions on what query-writer should do, or how it should do it, please put in your thoughts now!
