I've probably asked this before, but what are you trying to achieve here?

Can't any non-persistent information be lazily generated at run-time? If
not, why isn't it persisted already?

(_row_to_object should soon morph into a public inflation interface as I
refactor, but for the moment it's probably not a good target).
