* Example:
* $user = new DataStore($this->user_model->get('Admin'));
* $user->languages = $this->language_model->get($user->id);
*

Hmmm looks nice and simple. Perhaps I will use it for my object/fragment cache implementation. (It uses a member variable as a sort of internal cache for items that I already retrieved or that have been set in the current request)

wiredesignz has been lovin' getters and setters lately. Need to start considering them more myself, and overall, get away from a PHP 4 mindset.
