Actually, when selecting it doesn't really inflate to the different
classes. In the table A, table B, view V example above, when selecting
you'd get V objects, not A or B objects.

I'm not sure if I understood correctly. What would be "this" and the
"that" on your last statement?

The way it's implemented it doesn't even mess with result sources.
Those redirections only exist at the row level. Hence, the current
limitation on updating/deleting entire resultsets without using the
*_all variants.

Fine, I'll rename it then.
