ORM agnostic?

[desmondmorris]

it may make sense to explore the possibility of decoupling Waterline. Will this provide value? What are the other viable candidates.

Having it be decoupled from Waterline will be crucial eventually, though it's a good base layer to start. Whether the user wants another full ORM or a db-specific one, to be useful we will have to be more flexible.

Obviously this will make it more complex, but it should be fairly simple to define a common interface ORMs need to match, and create simple adapters to bridge ones that don't.
