Shallow and Deep, with an optional depth setting?

Shallow is the current EO and its toMany, then stops.

Deep continues on through the graph to a depth of 'depth' ?

Shallow is a wrapper method of Deep with 'depth = 0' ?

This could be a very expensive operation if mis-used, but is badly needed.
Ultimately I think this has to be rules-based ... This same problem happens when serializing object graphs over JSON services ... Which to-many's do you include? Which do you live as faults? I've looked at it a million ways and I think you can only ever do it right with a d2wish rules definition that lets you pick the context you're in to determine which keypaths end up in vs out and faulted vs not.

Okay - creating these rules is quite simple.
You have two properties lists:

er.extensions.ERXGenericRecord.relationshipCacheWhiteList = {\
        _ALL = "any,relationship,named,from,any,entity";\
        _MISFITS = "Entity,Names,That,Don't,apply,to,_ALL";\
        EntityName = "comma,separated,keypaths,that,can,be,refreshed";\
}
er.extensions.ERXGenericRecord.relationshipCacheBlackList = {\
        _ALL = "any,relationship,named,from,any,entity";\
        _MISFITS = "Entity,Names,That,Don't,apply,to,_ALL";\
        EntityName = "comma,separated,keypaths,that,cannot,be,refreshed";\
}

er.extensions.ERXGenericRecord.reverseToManyRelationshipsRefresh=true

How's that?
