[PonyORM-list] Table names

[Alexey Malashkevich]

Hi Vincent,

We thought about your request a little bit and here what we can suggest.
We could introduce an ability to declare the variable in a module such as

PONY_TABLE_PREFIX = "some_prefix_"

When Pony processes entity definitions, it checks if this variable is
declared in the current module. If it is, then Pony adds this prefix to all
table names. What do you think about this idea? Would it cover your needs?

Regards,
Alexey
