Well, I cheered loudly when I read Bertrand's post. I think the core 
issue is that your personal opinion of code generators and how they are 
inferior to "powerful and generalized polymorphic code" is off topic for 
this thread. Angie is announcing a cool module and it is annoying to 
have cold water thrown upon it.

i also think you are wrong about the insert/update/load hooks because 
modules do different things in each. You might change your mind once you 
start implementing your ideas in a few core and contrib modules.
