In general it can't figure out the type. Consider:
from foo in class Foo where foo.floatValue + 1 = ?
from foo in class Foo where someUserFunction( foo.value ) = ?
etc....
On the other hand, Query.setParameter() has some hueristics for guessing the
type from the given object, which is not 100% reliable, but its pretty good.
If we would have already had the Query interface when I designed the Session
interface, we could have made a good argument for letting the convenience
methods on Session use those same hueristics. But we didn't, so it wasn't an
option at the time.
