[TYPO3-mvc] How to get the plain DB value of a relation field?

Isn't that unneeded overhead? If I need persisted objects, i most likely 
don't need raw access to the data, and if I need raw access I most 
likely don't need it to be persisted.
Another way would be to simply provide the RAW db data in the models and 
either implement a magic getter for those or a generic one ( 
getRawValue($fieldName) ). And those RAW fields then should be used on 
converting the object to a array (e.g. for usage via TS).
