Agreed - should be possible to do it for SelectQuery, as it is essentially a 
single-entity filter. Will require closer look at Expression.filterObjects(..) 
to make sure it works for to-many, etc… 

And yes - some decisions are needed on how to handle uncommitted modified and 
deleted objects. It is hard for me to judge what's the best approach with 
those, as honestly I've never had a scenario where I would care to fetch 
against uncommitted objects. Would be great if someone could share their 
typical use cases.
