[jifty-devel] Easier model usage

[Kang-min Liu]

Hi, All

I've been very frustrated to write something like:

my $m = Jifty->app_class(Model => "Foo")->new
$m->load($id)

Just to load a record, so I've come up with a Jifty::ModelHelpers
module that auto-generate
a method for each model and collection in the app. So you can write
this instead:

my $m = Foo(1);

For collections too:

my $foos = FooCollection;

This is equivalent of

my $foos = Jifty->app_class(Model => "FooCollection")->new;
$foos->unlaimit;

Foo and FooCollection are auto-generated subs. The helper code is attached.

I would like you guys to tell me if something like this should be in
core. I'll make a release of such helper on my own
if not :)
