In the abstract, what you want to do is manipulate state, and that's
what models are for. The issue is that at present Maypole supports just
one model at a time and that is a collection of classes built around a
database. When all you've got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Hopefully, there'll be the possibility of multiple models of different
types sometime in the not-too-distant future.

Well it's one meaning of the much-overused 'hack', but in British
English I'd be more inclined to say it's a 'fudge' or 'bodge'.

Cheers, Dave
