Too much work for something I can do without :)
There is no reason I have to have SQL, it is just convenient. Plus, I
don't know that AR internals well enough to write an adapter anyway.

Yep. There are a few "special" objects that are proxied. each method
invocation is recorded (and occasionally a complete state snapshot is
taken), so you're guaranteed the same state when you resume. If I can
replace those objects to be handled by KB instead of madeleine
transparently it should be easy to replace. How invasive is KB
regarding the objects it manages? How does it support various
relationships?

Thanks for your replies,
