Hi everyone

I have been working on the inner bits of boss_db of late, you may have seen a lot of commits come across that project. However I really want to change the way that Models work. The current version relies on a lot of "Magic" in the form of parse transforms. I dislike this for several reasons.

 * The transform code is a very hard to work with
 * It makes it much harder to understand what your code is doing
 * It creates a bunch of functions that have no source code, so they
   are hard to understand
 * it does not feel very "erlangish" in style.

What I am proposing is that we change models to be a behavior, to create a model you would just create a model that implemented the gen_model behavior and specify how things work via a record.

You can take a look at what I am thinking in this gist:

I look forward to your comments.

Note also that the existing code will not go away, just we will slowly migrate to the new structure
