Actually... i think i'd misread Anthony's email.
His last suggested API is something i could get behind – taking the notion
of repositories as scopes, and pushing that down into the model as well.
The only thing i'd want to see is the ability to inject or alter the
repositories on the fly somehow.
I will give it more thought.
Incidentally dkubb has talked some about abstracting away knowledge of
repositories from models, which is something i could get behind. Something
like an inverted mapping pattern would be interesting to see. (i.e. you ask
a model to save, it looks up how to route itself to stores somewhere, which
has defaults which you could override)
