Heh, I would be interested in this as well! Maybe you should post this
question to the datamapper group as well?

I think that generally relying on #class is the safest bet for
#resource to do it's job. Since (some of) the Proxy's job is to
pretend to be something else anyway, and it already overrides
#kind_of? maybe it's possible to override #class as well. But maybe
there's a reason that they haven't done so yet.

I really think this should be posted to
http://groups.google.com/group/datamapper as well!

cheers
