Query by Criteria for Reference Object?

[Joe Germuska]

In my object model, I have a type "Template" which has a reference to 
another type, "Size".

I want to find all templates which have a specific "Size"

I expected this to work:

        crit.addEqualTo("size", template.getSize());

but it didn't, apparently because there is no FieldDescriptor for 
size (it's a reference-descriptor).

This does work:
       crit.addEqualTo("sizeValue", template.getSize().getValue());
sizeValue is the anonymous-access foreign key between Template and Size.

I'm somewhat satisfied since I have something works, but I wonder if 
it's an oversight that this doesn't work, or is there some deeper 
reason?

Thanks
        Joe
