To be fair, I generally only want to see bug-fixes backported to
public release branches(internal organization back-branches can have
other guidelines). However, I strongly believe that this particular
feature actually allows almost *all* raw sql to no longer be required.
In fact, the only raw sql this client has now(they didn't pay me to
fix this problem, I just did it while on their watch), is low-level
full-text searching for postgresql and oracle. But even then, I only
do it thru an anonymous ComplexAliasMember(which I should probable
extend into entitymodel at some point).
ps: backporting this change could be tricky; there are other dependant
patches needed, which aren't really features or fixes.
