As Frederic mentions, building all those objects will be an explosion in the database. (Also, if the object hierarchy isn't perfectly regular, it gets even messier.) Secondly, having all those objects can cause the same kinds of problems anyway. (I.e., someone can mistakenly merge the composition f
