CodeIgniter Data Mapper / Domain Objects

You're absolutely correct. The solution I put in place currently was a quick hack late one night to try and improve the compatibility of using objects for saving. I obviously didn't think it all of the way through.

I'm definitely open to the idea. I know the idea of a DataMapper has been bandied about in our private group, also, so I don't believe we'd get too much argument from there. And having custom classes workable with the model is a must, I personally believe.

I believe you've opened an issue at GitHub, so we can discuss implementation details there.
