For pedagogical purposes, it can be very beneficial to pretend that
there are only square holes and pegs to match.  <wink>

Are there any frameworks that don't pretty much assume you're starting
from scratch?  I'd say that all of them that I've looked at for more
than the briefest glance leverage the assumption that the project is
all new (and needn't consider anyone accessing its data except through
the app built using the framework) as a hugely simplifying assumption -
only one shape of holes and pegs, once again.
