Not really. There is no translation stage to SQL or any other DSL 
in the proposal. So this problem doesn't exist and no language 
changes are needed.

However there is another issue which must be taken into account. 
One should decide if the object is retrieved directly or via via 
proxy. Especially for big objects with lot of aggregated types.
