Re: 2.x -> 3.x migration

I would add a Trait to your entities. 

Inteface: ArrayAccess

Trait: LegacyAccessorTrait, with methods offsetGet(), offsetSet(). offsetUnset(), offsetExists()

Each of those methods will internally just check if the first argument is the "Model" name, and just ignore that and call the parent method. Example:

class Article extends Entity {

  use LegacyAccessorTrait;

  protected $_legacyModelName = 'Article';

}

trait LegacyAccessorTrait {

  public function offsetGet($key) {

    if ($key === $this->_legacyModelName) {

       return $this;

    }

    return parent::offsetGet($key);

  }

...

}


That will give you some space while your remove your ['Model'] calls in the templates. the alternative is to just remove those :)

Hi good people

If i have a _crapton_ of templates that expect to receive data in the old `$var['Model']['field']` style, where would you translate this ? The controllers will be rewritten in 3.x but the sheer volume of templates makes i prohibitive to convert all at once.
