Thanks Jeremy, that is a good idea.  Unfortunately, this would force
me to apply plugins and assign datasets _outside_ the setup/tear-down
routines _every time_ the setup/tear-down routines are invoked.  See
the comment in this gist, and particularly, please note lines 18-20:

Not only does this cause needless code duplication within the script,
but it runs contrary to my (confused?) opinion that plugins and
dataset assignments are setup/tear-down activities by definition, and
therefore should be part of those routines.

Furthermore, if I let myself define the setup/tear-down routine in two
places, I might cry.  ;-)

This is another very good idea.  I _am_ using PostgreSQL, and this
would be a perfectly reasonable thing to do...  but I can imagine that
the limit this would place on the way I could exercise the data models
would be overly restrictive for my purposes.

I really do appreciate the time you are taking to reply to my
questions, Jeremy.  However, I fear that I am just going to have to
somehow redefine the Sequel::Model(source) method from model.rb so
that I can avoid pestering you with this triviality any further.
