Thanks James. That's exactly right.

In your example, WithTable could be defined as something like this:

    table = With("...definition...")
    WithTable = ClassAlias(cls, table)

also, normal classes could be defined with:

    table = With("...definition...")
    class Person(object):
        __storm_table__ = table

and could be used in finds in an equivalent way:

    table = With("...definition...")
    store.using(table).find(...)

I don't think we need the column names, in the same way we don't have the
column names for normal tables. As long as it behaves like a table, we can
use the standard machinery to handle it.
