Update README #88

The term ORM seems inappropriate here. There is no relational DBM involved.

I'm not sure I agree with your explanation. I don't think an RDBMS is required for ORM. But I still think the change is an improvement.

This still holds IMHO:

Object-relational mapping (ORM, O/RM, and O/R mapping) in computer science is a programming technique for converting data between incompatible type systems in object-oriented programming languages. This creates, in effect, a "virtual object database" that can be used from within the programming language.
