Hey Steve.
So what you are saying is "use table_alias instead of table" ... At the
moment, we only have 1 Model class, but Maypole's ambition is to
support several database mappers, work on DBIx::SearchBuilder is
already underway. Using table_alias seems clumsy.
If they are interchangeable, I think Class::DBI should return the alias
when it's set, I suggest you post about this on the CDBI list. However,
if that route is not possible, I guess here would be to somehow make
Maypole::Model::CDBI::table return the aliased name. This might be as
easy as overriding "table" in ::CDBI, but I'm not sure of the
implications for setup.
