Thanks very much for the help. I think your suggestion is probably the
way Maypole would have people add this functionality. It's ashame
though that Maypole::Model::Base::process() will make an unnecessary
call to retrieve() before calling edit() which will then do it's own
retrieve. Worse, if the DBI handle was created with RaiseError, I think
that call will die. (I should maybe try it :-) )
It seems things could be ironed out a little bit.
