It's part of the changes planned for the next release indeed. At the  
time this was written it didn't seem to matter much as they are really  
semantically equivalent, and ORM tools weren't around much at the  
time :-)

I do hope that no-one is using a dynamically configuring ORM at run  
time so that this change can be a drop-in replacement that's fully  
backwards compatible.
