Later on yesterday in the bath tub I realized that I wouldn't need a getRawFoobar() method, but a
gerFoobarUid() method. Most likely the proxy would have that uid *before* fetching the object data
from the repository.

So in your model you don't want the (child) object. You want to access the property solely by the
(external) identifier, ie the uid of the database row. Right?
