It was one of the few things that I added to the API before
implementing it - which I've avoided since as a bad idea.

The general plan I had was to create other model implementations
rather than those only mapped 1-to-1 on a storage.  In particular I
wanted to allow static models, layered models and those aggregated
from sub-models.

I haven't prioritised this so far as something needed in the near
future for my applications but I don't rule out.  If you have a
specific use-case for this feature, that always helps my planning and
encourages me :)

Cheers
