  # LoadedSet's purpose is to give a common reference for the results of a query,
  # so that they can be manipulated by the DataMapper, behind-the-scenes, as a set.
  class LoadedSet
    
    # Provides a reference to the database that originally loaded the instances.
    attr_reader :database
    # Provides an Enumerable of the instances loaded in the set.

    # Not sure if this is necessary yet...
    # In other words: Does it make sense to allow portions of a set to be
    # garbage-collected?
    #
    # If so, then this isn't good enough because it's likely to
    # throw errors. If it's not, then letting Ruby itself track the
    # references with a simple Array is probably more effecient.
