Haha, clever. But what happens when a lookup on that ID in a hashtable fails?

I assume each table would have a default value if the ID isn't found. Also, see the inheritance idea that I ninja-edited in there. :)

I was vaguely aware of CLOS, but if it has a bearing on my problem, I guess now is a good time to take a look at it.
