However, I assume you'd have no objections to a layer built _on top of_ 
Rails that accomplished those business domain problems? What if there 
were made available as third-party "add-ons" or "plug-ins" to Rails? 
That would leave the Rails framework itself light and generic, with the 
option of adding specific functionality where the consumer needed it.
