=head1 NAME
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-Anyone subclassing this for a different database abstraction mechanism
-needs to provide the following methods:
+This is the base class for Maypole data models. This is an abstract class
+meant to define the interface, and can't be used directly.
-=head2 do_edit
+=head2 process
-If there is an object in C<$r-E<gt>objects>, then it should be edited
-with the parameters in C<$r-E<gt>params>; otherwise, a new object should
-be created with those parameters, and put back into C<$r-E<gt>objects>.
-The template should be changed to C<view>, or C<edit> if there were any
-errors. A hash of errors will be passed to the template.
+This is the engine of this module. It populates all the relevant variables
+and calls the requested action.

-sub do_edit { die "This is an abstract method" }
+Anyone subclassing this for a different database abstraction mechanism
+needs to provide the following methods:
=head2 setup_database
This maps between a table name and its associated class.
-=head2 retrieve
+=head2 fetch_objects
-This turns an ID into an object of the appropriate class.
+This method should populate $r->objects from $r->{args}.
=head2 adopt
This is called on an model class representing a table and allows the
master model class to do any set-up required.
-=head2 related
-
-This can go either in the master model class or in the individual
-classes, and returns a list of has-many accessors. A brewery has many
-beers, so C<BeerDB::Brewery> needs to return C<beers>.
-
=head2 columns
-This is a list of the columns in a table.
+This is a list of all the columns in a table. You may also override
+see also C<display_columns>
=head2 table
This is the name of the table.

Additionally, individual derived model classes may want to override the
following methods:
+=head2 display_columns
+
+Returns a list of columns to display in the model. by default returns
+all columns in alphabetical order. Override this in base classes to
+change ordering, or elect not to show columns.
+
+=head2 list_columns
+
+Same as display_columns, only for listings. Defaults to display_columns
+
=head2 column_names
Return a hash mapping column names with human-readable equivalents.

+ $_ => ucfirst $col
+ } $class->columns;
+}
=head2 description
sub description { "A poorly defined class" }
-1;
+=head2 is_public
+
+should return true if a certain action is supported, or false otherwise.
+Defaults to checking if the sub has the :Exported attribute.
