As for scoping contexts, such as AR's named_scopes... does DM have an equal or greater equivalent? It's something I use the most now at my day job, since building advanced queries seems to be easier using them.
From http://datamapper.org/doku.php? id=docs:finders#scopes_and_chaining:
Since DataMapper only executes finders when a kicker method is called, a call to all or first can be chained together to further build a query to the data-store
So by simply defining class methods that return queries, you have the equivalent of named scopes.
