Ideally, I'd like to see the majority of Hobofields become an add-on to ActiveModel, or maybe even part of it. Done properly, it would make it much easier to use Hobo with alternative ORMs, and authors trying to build *new* ORMs (for the NoSQL flavor of the week) would be able to start with a richer type system. >> >> OK.
