Good idea; also IMHO this would be a nice improvement.

And now a valueForKey variant returning NS(Mutable)Array...

Actually, having thought about it a bit more, I think it's not such a nice improvement. i.e., it's not the user that determines what type of object is returned for a raw-row fetch; that's a function of the framework.

So the only way I can see this moving forward:

* deprecate the flag in EOFetchSpecification
* adjust EOEditingContext as follows...

public NSArray<T> objectsWithFetchSpecification (EOFetchSpecification<T> fetchSpec) {...} public NSArray<NSDictionary> rawObjectsWithFetchSpecification (EOFetchSpecification fetchSpec) {....}

What do you think?

This would be a pretty radical change that would break a lot of code. At the moment the raw rows is a boolean in the EOFetchSpecification, I agree that this would be a nice improvement but are we ready for it?

.... pretend .... you ... never mentioned that?

I suppose your fetch spec would then be EOFetchSpecification<NSDictionary> and maybe it would just work out?

And what do you do with raw rows?

I think generic EOFS would be better ... Passing in Class objects to fulfill generics always feels a bit like hackery. It's really cheating -- you're basically casting without using cast syntax, because you can't enforce that the class you put in is actually related to the objects of the fetch spec in any way, so it's as unsafe as an arbitrary cast.

public <T> NSArray<T> objectsWithFetchSpecification (EOFetchSpecification<T> fetchSpec) { ... }

then

EOFetchSpecification<Person> fetchSpec = ...;
NSArray<Person> people = ec.objectsWithFetchSpecification (fetchSpec);
