This bothers me for a long time, though I'm not sure the solution is viable.

Though I'd rather not assert for notNull every time I use the reference.

This is inconsistent from my POV, EntityManager::find also returns null if not found and these two methods are related.

@beberlei but this does not do any entity lookup. Currently, null is returned when there's issue with entity hierarchy when inheritance is used and that should IMO be an error.

Before more work is done here, i believe the BC break here is too big to be reasonable and i am heavily 👎 on this change

@beberlei what about adding new methods if BC break is the issue even for the major version?
