Partial selects, also from related models

I would like to close this issue as partial selects have been talked about/request at length multiple times and I do not feel they are something that the ORM should handle as it breaks the abstraction of the model by having partially hydrated models.

I agree that doing this has consequences, but I also see a use-case for this. I suggest we park this until we have a more solid idea on what ORM v2 will look like, and then re-evaluate?

Parking it sounds like a good idea then. It can be a post-first alpha version feature if we decide to go down this route.
