The biggest problem for me has been (and still is) getting a handle on
how all the various classes hook together.  What I would really like is
some form of diagram showing the links.

Basically I end up struggling with questions such as:-
      * I have a row object, I want to find out (say) what are the
        related objects... which I can get from a ResultSource object,
        but actually I can use those methods on the row object too...

So ideally I'd like to get some form of relationship diagram which shows
how things are hooked together (ie ResultSet->result_source), but also
whats inheriting from what...

[I'm not even sure of a good way to represent this]

        Nigel.
