Yes, it definitely assumes you know EMF and Ecore.

We don't do any proper type checking of the return types of the block
expressions. So I believe nothing currently checks to see if the
declared return type matches the what's actually returned. It will be
good to open bugzillas with specific issues like this. I'll want to fix
them all.

It's always a bit tricky to be sure that what's working in my
development environment works when the bundles are actually jarred up
and deployed.

No, we definitely want to support the full set of things you can do with
GenModel. Of course I know it's currently limited, but if you open a
bugzilla it will be higher on my radar knowing that folks are really
wanting to use it for that.
Please feel free to report anything you see that's going astray! It's
good to know exactly what people are trying, and what's holding up their
progress.
