> Add Lazy Attributes

> Add the ability to mark an attribute as lazy. Such attributes will be
> excluded from the original SELECT query and subsequently calling the lazy
> attribute's getter (and perhaps the setter?) will trigger a fault to the DB
> to retrieve the actually contents. This will be useful for BLOB type data
> that you might want to exclude during a normal fetch of metadata (file name,
> size, etc) in tables where which include both.
> Initial thoughts:
> * Update Cayenne Modeler to have a "Lazy" column in the Object Attribute
> editor which is a checkbox (like the Optimistic Locking toggle).
> * Update the XML format to support a lazy="true" or lazy="false" (the
> default) attribute to the obj-attribute tag.
> * Update CayenneDataObject to handle lazy attribute faults. Will likely
> need some new support classes.
> * Update Velocity templates to generate correct code for lazy attributes.
> * Update query code to omit lazy attributes from SELECTs and create fault
> objects for them.
> * Update commit code to omit lazy attributes from UPDATEs (ones that haven't
> been faulted in yet, even if used for Optimistic Locking).
> I'm sure there are other things I'm missing, plus need to handle ROP, which
> I'm not familiar with using.
