The SQLAlchemy ORM adds a lot of functionality that is not available with 
its DAL alone, and most of that extra functionality already exists in 
pyDAL. As far as I can tell, the weppy ORM does not really add any 
functionality to the DAL -- it is mostly an alternative syntax. I'm not 
saying there isn't value there, just that it is a lot of code maintenance 
to take on for maybe only a very modest benefit.
