Yes, it's all coming back to me now. :)

That works if the CDBI object doesn't have any relationships.  But, I don't
think it works recursively. So, putting that in the CDBI base class results
in JSON complaining:  "...neither allow_blessed nor
convert_blessed settings are enabled" because the "sub-objects" are not
also converted to a hash.

I guess another option is to use sub pack { shift->id } and then
use coercion to re-inflate later by refetching from the database.
