The problem
-----------
Developers occasionally encounter a domain which defies simple modelling in an ActiveRecord relational style, and look to some of the nosql databases for a solution. They find Mongo, a document database, and feel it might provide the flexibility they need. After a bit of research they pick out a persistence library which seems popular and well maintained. It even emulates most of ActiveRecord's behaviour, style and relational philosophy. Great!
