I hear you - it would be nice if there were a merged view of what's in- memory vs what's in the database... but there isn't :)

Hi Ken,

Deleting an EO is really just like setting a flag until you save, so this behavior is really no surprise.

Yeah, it certainly matches exactly with the description in the API docs, so I was only surprised because I hadn't read them closely enough.

Actually, though, my surprise wasn't so much that a deleted object was being returned, but that an object that had been modified in the EC so that, say, if I hadn't deleted it, but instead called saveChanges(), it wouldn't have matched the fetchSpec. That is, the fetchSpec asked for objects where bar() == theBar. I had already called setBar(null), which is why I wasn't expecting to see that object in the results. That I had also called deleteObject() was incidental. Anyway, it _still_ matches the description in the API docs (the promise is just that the matching EO in the external store won't overwrite the (now not matching) object in the EC), so the surprise is entirely self-inflicted.

It doesn't exactly match your needs, but hopefully it will help!

Thanks for that code.
