[Solar-talk] Changes afoot: a new Model class

Well, it's not fully useful yet ... but so you can get an idea of  
what I expect will be the normal use:

>     protected function _setup()
>     {
>         parent::_setup();
>         $this->nodes = Solar::factory('Bulldog_Model_Nodes');
>     }
>   public function actionHome()
>     {
>      // get a single record from the model
>      $this->node = $this->nodes->fetchOne();
>     }
> }

Yes, that looks exactly like the normal usage I expect.  Nicely done  
sir.  :-)
