Really , really a nice try, Dave :) HOwever, in mysql table names are actually
" Any character that is allowed in a directory name, except `/', `\', or `.' "
So table name should be able to map to directory name no problem. Maybe other
databases are different though.

But how the heck do i know what it is? Its not documented anywhere and its
overridable. Only through experimentation did i find it lowercases the whole
thing. But what does it do to '_'? I don't know cause cdbi loader makes
classes CamelCase.

I tried in creating a mysql table with all of these "characters you shouldn't
use in unix file/directory names ( | ; , ! @ # $ ( ) < > / \ " ' ` ~ { } [ ] =
+ & ^ <space> <tab>j) and couldn't do it from the shell.

Me too. I was hoping to override moniker to fix this. I remember a thread on it
and maypole being internally dependent on it. I hope that can be fixed.
