I have something like a simple ORM which objects haven't a fixed number
of fields, and I need to have properties (or methods) for each of them,
but currently it is more comfortable for me to use uninstantiaded
classes (as someway SQLObject does).
I guess I'd better taking another approach to him, maybe using
something from ASPN cookbook :-\
