  Users.forInsert insert User(None, "Christopher", "Vogt")
Personally, I don't find that to be a lot of ceremony. Now, Slick definitely still has some problems and requires too much boilerplate, I'll certainly agree with that but I don't think this is one of those cases (though it could be improved).

THe ceremony is creating the "for insert" facade. To me the logical thing to do would be for Slick to have an "AutoInc Int/Long" type that is implicitly convertable from Option, so that you could just do a normal insert and the the None value just causes the id column to be omitted.
