Could somebody explain the concept of pluggable brains? I have come across this phrase more than once, and I still don't know what it is. Is there any documentation on this?
Is it by any chance related to an SQL Method's ability to represent data records with Python classes?
Yes. Sorry for the term, I picked it up from Jim Fulton back when it was an about-to-be-added feature for Principia/Aqueduct. As with so many Fultonisms, it's vivid and tends to stick in one's (non-pluggable) brain.
