Load model with a constructer - possible?

Yes, typically, in the past I would write a get() method for each model that accepted an array of search parameters. So, I could do things like this:

Code:

$this->load->model('user');
$u = $this->user->get(array('id'=>4));
echo $u->email;
$this->user->set_email($new_email);

Now, I do something like this (coming soon):

Code:

$this->datamapper->model('user');
$u = new User(array('id'=>4));
echo $u->email;
$u->email = $new_email;
$u->save();
