I think I can see a good way to do the identity map, but only the

Would these things be PDI-level enhancements, or a waste of time to
look into?
I think they stray too much from way we learned to expect AR to work.
Back in the rails 0.5 days I sorta remember this being discussed in
the irc channel, and back then david didn't feel like introducing the
concept of dirtiness into the framework. In fact, the discussion was
exactly regarding wether or not to save records when pushing into
has_many assocs, and that's what eventually generated the build and
create methods.
Would be nice to see an implementation of dirtiness and identity map,
but I'd be surprised if it ever got merged into the trunk.
