Not out of context at all.  In fact, this documentation page for  
Doctrine ...

   <http://phpdoctrine.net/doctrine/manual/documentation.php?index=4.2>

... looks very similar to the intended use of Solar_Sql_Model.

Doctrine usage:

     $table = $conn->getTable("User");

     // find by primary key
     $user = $table->find(2);
     if($user !== false)
         print $user->name;

     // get all users
     foreach($table->findAll() as $user) {
         print $user->name;
     }

Solar_Sql_Model usage:

     $users = Solar::factory('Solar_Model_Users');

     // find by primary key
     $user = $users->fetch(2);
     if ($user->id) {
         print $user->name;
     }

     // get all users
     foreach ($users->fetchAll() as $user) {
         print $user->name;
     }
