      # A data store can only have one driver. 
      # It's like a database connection. If you want models to connect to different
      #   databases, you have them inherit from different base classes that specify 
      #   a db to connect to.

      # Pros:
      #   * All the data in your store comes from the same place. Easy to reason about
      #   * No chance of data source collisions. Can't populate tables from multiple sources
      #   * Cleaner table-adding interface 
      #       store.add_table( name )
      #            vs
      #       store.add_table( name, driver )
      #       # where does driver get initialized? 
      #   * Straight forward patching: one complete patch at a time
      #       How do you patch across differntly driven tables?
      #       Do you need a patch stack?
      #   * Depending on how your remote is built, you can pull in all the data at once
      #
      # Cons:
      #   * Limiting if you want to have some tables come from YAML and some from remote
      #
      # Yeah. OK.
