ORM-independent schema / reflection

#54

Kind of a major ticket. Will need to be decomposed into smaller tickets eventually. DataMapper already provides a mechanism for reflection, but Sequel (last I checked) did not. I was looking at DrySQL to do this.

There is a lot of value in doing this: automatic migrations and smart views are two features that would benefit from this feature.

It might also be fine to just make this a wrapper around the ORMs that provide an ORM-independent reflection API.

    I thought DataMapper made you declare everything, where Sequel reflects on attribute names, at the least.

    Are we talking about association_reflection, which is what DrySQL appears to target?

    I'd call this a post 1.0 feature.
