Why not add support in the entity engine for proper entity extension? What I mean, is like the case for Party/Person/PartyGroup. Instead of having to fetch/update/etc each of those entities separately, the entity engine will treat the sub-tables as one, and deal with a single entity during manipulation. If a developer asks for a Party, they will actually get a Person/PartyGroup, with all the correct fields. If they ask for a person, they will either get the wanted value, or maybe a CCE if it is the other type. I've had thoughts about this for a while, but never concrete enough to turn into code. I'm mostly just dumping my brainstorming onto the list. Anyone else have any thoughts?
