[TYPO3-dev] $this->pi_exec_query doesn't work correct with workspaces?

I followed the coding guidelines in my extensions and used the 
pi_exec_query and exec_XXX_query all the time, even if it was not that 
intuitive.
I was just astonished about the fact, that the workspace-thing do not 
work while using these functions.
I respect Dmitrys opinion that it is bad to write a circumvention for 
each extension, but honestly I do not have any experience with 
"patching" and I do not overlook the complete workspace-concept that I 
could provide a patch that works in general. I only found out how to 
make my extension have a proper preview. Could be different with other 
extensions' queries.

Obviously. That is normal and happens in every case, then new concepts 
are introduced. I just wonder why some (I don't want to say all) 
database-related functions do not handle the workspace and versioning 
things. I mean, you cannot forget these function when you update you API 
function prior to a version release, or could you?
Anyway I will try to have a look into the tslib_pibase and hope I can 
find a section to insert a few lines of workspace handling.
