+ Notes from a refactor of this code.
+
+ There are many assumptions that need to be met for normalized classes to work
+
+ * The each of the classes should have its own single key column (of a different name)
+ that will contain an identical value. EG: node has a node-id, setting which
+ is a node has a node-id and a setting-id which must be equal. You cannot use
+ node-id as the primary key on both tables (as I would have expected). The exception
+ to this seems to be if your class has no slots at all, then you dont need to have a
+ single key column, because your class is fully represented in the db by its parent(s)
+
+ * more than one parent class per normalized class should be considered experimental
+ and untested (vaya con Dios)
+
+ * There are a few code paths that just dont pay any attention to normalized classes
+ eg: delete-records-for-instance
