Well, that was probably not the best example cause you wouldn't want to 
lazy-load the images. But that brings me to another point:
I think it would be great if the querying of sub-elements would be the 
same no matter if they are in memory or on the database.
Or the other way around: $user->groups['xyz'] would load the 
corresponding group from db - if not already done - and return it and 
unset($user->groups['xyz']) would remove the relation..
My thoughts are based on blatant half knowledge, but I hope you can put 
shed some light on it ;)

btw: I'm surprised that there are no more reactions to your post but 
maybe this topic is still a bit abstract for others too!?
