Anthony, I see the advantage of passing db as a parameter to the code
on modules and not relaying to much on current, but what happen when u
can't control the parameters, for example i have a custom Exporter for
a grid in a module:

class MyExporter(ExportClass):
    ...

on a controller:

exports = dict(xml=False, html=False, csv_with_hidden_cols=False,
                    csv=False, tsv_with_hidden_cols=False, tsv=False,
                    json=False, EXT=(MyExporter, 'EXT'),
                    )
grid = SQLFORM.grid(db.Table1, csv=True, exportclasses=exports)

when configuring the grid i can only give the name of the class, and
it only get the rows on the grid, what if i want to include more data
from my database ? Is there a way around to get access to db other
than current ?
