DAO is not DRY

[JonLatane]

From the Readme:

class User(id: EntityID<Int>) : IntEntity(id) {
    companion object : IntEntityClass<User>(Users)

    var name by Users.name
    var city by City referencedOn Users.city
    var age by Users.age
}

I have to repeat myself too much. I would like to be able to write:

class User(id: EntityID<Int>) : IntEntity<User>(id) {
   companion object Users
   var name by Users.name
}

I'm currently learning Kotlin and I understand the limitation that we can't use generic companion objects (meaning we have to rework the way the per-transaction caching works), so I'm curious if others more savvy might have ideas for how we could accomplish this. This is a pretty big refactor that I'm thinking of taking on but I was wondering if folks here might be receptive to it?
