Why not Reference.getQueryAsObject?

[Paul J. Lucas]

If Message.getEntityAsObject() exists, why doesn't  
Reference.getQueryAsObject() exist?  I want to turn a query (via a  
Form) into an Object using a ConverterService.  (I'm converting a  
query into an Object now, but doing it my own way since the framework  
apparently provides no "right way" of doing this.)
