I think the idea was that if the underlying EntityState does not have
the assocation needed by the composite (i.e.
getManyAssociation(qualifiedName) returns null), then it should be
possible to create it this way, and that the EntityState implementation
should be allowed to replace the implementation by returning something
else. Not sure if this is the best way to do it though... might be
better to simply make it so that getManyAssociation never returns null
(i.e. create a new collection if none has yet been persisted).
