Another OPF I have used allows me to specify that a class is
versioned.  When it is versioned you end up with two additional
columns in each relevant class - TimeStampStart, TimeStampEnd.  When a
new row is inserted you get a TimeStampStart and a null TimeStampEnd.
When an object is modified the existing row has its TimeStampEnd set,
and a new row is inserted with TimeStampStart set.  When a row is
deleted the TimeStampEnd is set on the most recent row.  This means I
must set my primary key to ID + TimeStampStart in order to ensure
uniqueness, and it prohibits me from using foreign key constraints -
but the OPF checks for existence during a DB update.

I'm wondering if NHibernate is flexible enough to make it possible to
extend it in a similar way?  I do enjoy being able to effectively
browse the DB at a specific date/time and see how the data looked at
that point without having to write any code.
