[...] Extending Jeff Watkin’s identity framework was really easy and intuitive. I just derived my own User class from TG_User and thats it! I was all set for using identity! [...]

Ack! You have uncovered one of the drawbacks of a megaframework. You don’t own the other parts and can’t fix them on your schedule. But I suppose TG would be years behind where it is now if it was all built from scratch… ah, tradeoffs.

The prefixes are only necessary to make certain that the default Identity model classes don't conflict with any user model classes because of a design flaw in SQLObject.

It's easier in the long run to fix SQLObject by changing the names of the classes than to wait for a fix from the SQLObject developers.

I hate such prefixes, but I understand they are currently necessary for Identity to work. However, don't you think it's better to do it right and force SQLObject to fix their problem?

I would hate to think that this will end up being changed back again after SQLObject fixes the issue.
