The find_by_sql method only works if all the columns from your
arbitrary query are mapped/mappable to your model's DM properties, no?
The DataMapper::Collection will be an array of your Model, as opposed
to what I did above. I'm not saying I'm more correct, but if you have
results that don't cleanly map to your Model's DM properties, it's an
option.
