Why wouldn't it find them? I'm not really
following the subtleties here...

You could find out which methods and/or attributes
cause it to be persistent, and override those,
possibly with a method that just does "pass".
A bit of work.

Could you do us all a favor, and do a bried writeup if you
manage to get it working nicely? Non-persistent objects
would be nice sometimes, and all the docs I've ever seen
(e.g. Boring and the "minimal" product) assume you want
persistence...
