there is no such thing in "old" version for sure, i dunno about "new
version" though.
definitely this is an important thing, without that queries suck.
while it's fairly easy to implement it for get-instances-by-class,
things are more tricky for "-by-range" queries because they need to be
sorted,
and even more tricky for "map-*" level.
as i've mentioned once, i have sort of "combined cursors" implementation,
with it we can support this "subclass aggregation" on low level map-*
queries,
so get-instances-* will get it almost automatically, and stuff will be
properly ordered etc.
so do you people think that inheritance support on map level is a right
thing?
