Why would you want to fetch columns that don't exist in the table? And
if you did, why would you want the object to be read-only. I can easily
think of cases where you'd want the object that comes out of the ORM to
have fields that didn't come from the database, even more so than object
inflation, and it seems likely that you'd want it to do something clever
when it puts the object back, but I can't think of a useful situation
for this case. Could someone supply me with one, please?
