Regarding this specific idea, you could work around this issue by
performing a unit test one level up (writing a bit of stub code if
needed). Yes, it'd be nice to have more support for it in the DB
layer, but that alone doesn't justify the (apparent) huge migration
cost for the large number of existing systems out there. (I asked
you about this before, got no response.)

Regarding your general project, I was going to ask about LINQ (which
will presumably have the huge advantage of ubiquity due to being an
Official Microsoft Thingy), but I see you've already dismissed it at
