I am in the process of converting as much as possible all my entities to
values (my model was composed of entities only).
One of them (the Contract value) has 8 mixins and a 'base' value, so yes
I do use VC subtypes (the reason for my hack-see previous message).
BTW, I think this specific _type field could be used for migration
purpose later... (by imposing a new type or mapping between old->new
types).
Could you please tell me when you plan to implement the _type field ?
Well, the question is how to do it. Should it be done as I said, i.e. if
the instance matches the expectation then don't include it, otherwise
do, OR should it always be in the stored data? Kind of like always
including the namespace declaration in XML I suppose. What are peoples
thoughts on this?
Also, FYI, there is no checking about circular references in VC (stack
overflows) and I don't understand the semantics of Property<Entity> (it
is allowed).
True. Don't use circular references :-) As for references to entities,
yes they are allowed, but I'm also a bit unsure about the semantics
actualy. I personally use EntityReferences explicitly, rather than
Entity references in properties.
