Indeed you are correct!

Putting C<Jifty->new()> into BEGIN {} works for me. So the boilerplate
actually look like this:

   use Jifty::Everything;
   BEGIN { Jifty->new; }

   use Qooqle::Model::QQUser;
   use Qooqle::Model::Session;
   use Qooqle::Model::Message;

Hmm, incredibly clean. :)

Maybe we should add this bit to Jifty::Manual::Models?
