DMZ 1.7.1 (DataMapper OverZealous Edition)

Love the library and been reading the docs several times now.

I'm having a "small" issue with the naming conventions and I'm wondering why noone else seems to have encountered this problem.

Basically, what do you guys do if you want a controller with the singular name of a table name?
An example would be /user/view/1 with a table name of users.
That would then require the model name to be the same as the controller name giving you an error - unless you write a custom model name and specify a table within the model. But if you do this then how do you setup relations? For the custom model name or?

Code:

$has_many = array('user_model');

I'm a bit lost on what to do here because I ended up having so many errors because of my custom model names to avoid class name collisions.

With Yorick's ORM you don't have this issue as he requires model suffixes (https://github.com/YorickPeterse/Awesome-Record), so am I missing something with DataMapper?


Second question:
Let's say I have a forum where you want to iterate through categories then forums within. How do you iterate like that with an ORM? Get the cateogory and foreach - then get the forums in the category and foreach?
