Yes, I forget the details, but I do recall this change being 
schooltool-inspired or driven.

Obviously I don't understand Fred's rather strongly worded objections 
either. :)

In Grok, we have grok.Adapter and grok.Annotation. grok.Annotation is, I 
think, easy to explain: it's an adapter that actually persists its own 
data. The factory pattern supports this.
