well delete() doesnt mean "remove this object from the session"... it means "mark this persistent object to be removed from the database". otherwise then youd be having the delete() method deliver two distinct sets of functionality based on what youre sending to it. id rather have a delete_or_expunge() or seomthing like that so people can be explicit if they want that, which would be more consistent with the notion of save()/update()/save_or_update() (remember we're largely imitating Hibernate in this one particular area, i.e. Session interface).
I think Session is better served by being very strict about what you can do with it, and forcing explicitness. while its reasonably OK right now it needs a lot more work in this area since i havent taken the time to go through every potential assertion...
