I know I sound like I'm droning on about this but...

I'd like to be able to talk to DBIC in SQL rather than its own dialect
of perl data structures. I'm thinking an SQL parser that generated DBIC
code. (A consequence of this is abstracting some of the RDMBS dialect
differences away *at the SQL level*.)

As a fantasy wish-list item, I'd like DBIC to derive the relationships
and create the various rels without me doing it at all in the class
definitions. DBIC could then use these relationships in the creation of
the DBIC perl data structure dialect above.
