It's exactly right. It should be created by default for all
relationships. It will save me, at least, many lines of code.
I would also ask for a load_speculative() method, which simply calls
load with (speculative=>1). I know about default_load_speculative,
this is a local override. Yes, it pollutes the namespace--I think
it's worthwhile.
