What is "short order" ? It's supposed to mean that the application plans to insert a bunch of objects and doesn't want to wait for the sequence to go to the datastore during the insertion of the next intParameter objects. It didn't seem like there was an easy way to say that in the spec or javadoc. In any event, this method (in fact, most "hints") can only be tested by calling it and making sure it doesn't throw an exception. There's no visible behavior to test.
