Hi!

I thinking about same thing, but in my opinion, the correct way to get 
the whole resultset from stash, instead parts of resultset. In this 
case, the whole magic of DBIC accessible to create forms, and placed 
every component to a right place (model in database model, form prefill 
logic in application/controller, and form description in config files). 
And finally, I think, this not require an intensive extension of 
Model::DBIC codebase.
