Ok.
What *I* would like to see is a "hook" in UnitOfWork where I can
install something that takes care of converting one schema to another.
The problem I see with it, is that it must be able to "chat" with the
UoW to retrieve associations, as data may move up and down the
hierarchy. Not very clean, but I think necessary...

When looking back to the largest migration I have done, there were a
couple of common complex things;

 - String properties became their own types.

 - Properties became associations.

 - Association of an Association became a direct Association and vice versa.

 - Maps of data became multiple ManyAssociations of data.


Probably others, but my memory is failing somewhat.


Cheers
Niclas
