You're using an ORM, so don't complain it uses Objects. That's how it works.

Having said that, I understand your question. Could you please add this as a feature request: http://bitbucket.org/wanwizard/datamapper/issues (and add a link back to your post), I'll see if I can squeeze it in for the next update...
