 Custom Result Objects
 *********************
 
-You can have the results returned as an instance of a custom class instead of a stdClass or array,
-as the ``result()`` and ``result_array()`` methods allow. This requires that the class is already
-loaded into memory. The object will have all values returned from the database set as properties.
-If these have been declared and are non-public then you should provide a ``__set()``
-method to allow them to be set.
