[Grok-dev] Re: Using martian to load schemata

[Leonardo Rochael Almeida]

What I think might not work in your example is that there are things
that happen at "import time" which you really can't work around, for
instance, if I have a grok.Form with grok.AutoFields(IPage) interface,
either "model('page.xml') will have to work immediately (which means
not being able to rely on the C.A. being set up), or the AutoFields
call won't find any actual fields on your interface.
