I believe this suggestion is a footgun -- more likely to be used incorrectly than it is to be used correctly. People don't really read the docs that carefully. For this to be viable, the rule of "nothing but literals and comparisons" needs to be enforced, not just documented. As a project, then, we have to decide which we like better: (1) An API which gives uniform use of the properties whether the object is saved or not; or, (2) An API which exposes the full capabilities of the database I'd go with (2). Shai.
