I prefer AutoLoader's rule, but I guess one issue might be backwards
compatibility.

So there's no backwards-compatibility issue there then :)

That will either work, if the user hasn't actually written any code for
the table class, or it will cause a compile error that's easy to fix in
the more usual case that there is code for an untaint or a relationship
or something.

The most worrying case I can think of is if somebody has one table
called hello__world and another called hello_world. But then I think
they deserve everything that happens to them :) And something would
probably break.

The other issue will be Class::DBI::Loader::Relationship.

Cheers, Dave
