Re: Low-level data access

Ok, I believe I found the answer and it's no (low-level accessors do not 
do lazy loading).  Perhaps that is not the intended behaviour but it's 
what is happening.  This is roughly what the code is doing.

my $iter = Foo::Class->search( foo=> q() );
my $rec = $iter->first;

use Data::Dumper;
$log->info( Dumper( $rec ) );

# $VAR1 = bless( {
#	'etl_extract_id' => 128,
# }, 'Foo::Class' );
#
# Primary => etl_extract_id

my @test = $rec->_attrs( q(etl_status) );
# @test empty, despite value in database ...

Why is it empty in object?  My assumption is because the low-level 
accessors bypass the lazy loading functionality but I would think that 
they should not bypass them.  I have gotten around this by declaring the 
specific columns 'Essential' which are accessed in the low-level 
accessors but still can be problematic in the future.
