Well, I just wanted to thank you for starting this whole discussion.  I 
*really* like getting feedback on KirbyBase and your post has resulted 
in some great ideas from people concerning this nil issue.

Bottom line is that I'm going to work on finding a way to satisfy your 
request to not override NilClass#method_missing while keeping the 
simplicity of KirbyBase's query expressions.

Thanks again for bringing this up.
