+1 for strings ... it also enables using reflection based usage on the API.

Using the ConventionModelMapper there is "no problem" if the user can accept to write the mapping catching that member in the BeforeMapProperty event (or similar for others relations). I would introduce a short-cut ca.Property("Something", map => map.Length(150)); Thoughts ? -- Fabio Maulo
