[quote author="OverZealous" date="1249582900"]I should have mentioned that - auto transactions basically break transactions. I don't know why stensi included them, or if they even do anything useful. ;-)

Doh. They are pretty darned useful, as far as I can tell; they appear to wrap every save()/delete() call in a transaction so that if, for example, a relationship fails to save/delete, the transaction rolls back. Having said that, surely when a relationship saves it's going to complete the outer transaction, as it does in my example so maybe it is completely pointless. Will test it out.

The iterator feature has to be part of the core class. So, it's not something I can easily enable or disable completely. However, there is a way to still allow looping over the class itself, but I'm not sure how well it will work.

I'm going to wait on more feedback before deciding to keep the iterator or not. I'd prefer to have it all-or-nothing, to prevent confusion.

Oh yeah the class has to implement iterator interface, good point. I would be surprised if anyone is looping over their models but think you're wise to be cautious. Tis much more graceful than having to access all every time, imho.
