<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Why the split between the create and alloc calls?</pre>

</blockquote>
<pre style="margin-left: 1em; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">To reduce calls into the wizard and to reduce the amount of work done, effectively. Combining create and alloc results in doing the following:
1. Creating a default object
2. Storing the default object
3. Returning (potentially) a copy of the object
4. Modifying the values of the object
5. Updating the object
An alloc function is also required regardless for wizards who want to create objects dynamically (for example from a configuration file, or using results from a database).</pre>

Table, configuration file, what have you. That can't be expressed on a global sorcery scope.</pre>

A user of this API defines their objects with some special sorcery specific contents. The object types themselves and the fields within the objects are then registered with sorcery. Operations can then occur to create, retrieve, update, or delete objects. There's also other aspects present such as configuration for mapping object types to different persistence mechanisms (with the current one available being in-memory). Other operations also exist which allow objects to be copied and diffed.
* I will run whitespace-cleanup on this :P red blobs will be gone.</pre>
