DBIx::Class::Helper::Row::RelationshipDWIM: Awesome!

Thanks to some idle chatting in the #dbix-class channel on irc.perl.org I came up with DBIx::Class::Helper::Row::RelationshipDWIM. The gist of it is that you get to type

__PACKAGE__->has_many(addresses => '::Address', 'person_id' )

instead of

__PACKAGE__->has_many(addresses => 'MyApp::Schema::Result::Address', 'person_id' )

That yields a total sugar (with candy) of the following:

package Lynx::SMS::Schema::Result::MessageParent;

use Lynx::SMS::Schema::Candy;

primary_column id => {
   data_type         => 'int',
   is_auto_increment => 1,
};

column account_id => { data_type => 'int' };
column type_id => { data_type => 'int' };

column caller_id => {
   data_type => 'int',
   size      => 11,
   is_nullable => 1,
};

column message => {
   data_type => 'nvarchar',
   size => 1000,
};

column when_created => {
   data_type     => 'datetime',
   set_on_create => 1,
};

column voice_id => {
   data_type     => 'int',
   is_nullable   => 1,
};

belongs_to account => '::Account', 'account_id';
belongs_to voice => '::Voice', 'voice_id';
belongs_to type => '::Type', 'type_id';
has_many children => '::MessageChild', 'message_parent_id';

1;

Pretty nice.
