Well, unset($someRef) already removes the link when persisting.

As far as the access goes, lazy-loading will work (probably) with some 
proxy object that sits there waiting to be used. As soon as you do, it 
will load the actual data and (ideally) replace itself, or at least 
transparently act like the original object/data.
