Delete and Update Questions for Future?

Hey Hibernate guys,

I was wondering if there are plans to make more bulk methods.

For Instance.

I see a

Code:

session.delete( Object );

are there plans to make a

Code:

session.delete( List );

Similarly, there is a

Code:

session.delete( String, Object[], Type[] );

are there plans to make a

Code:

session.update( String, Object[], Type[] )'

or maybe a

Code:

session.update( List );

I can see this coming in very handy. For instance if you have an Employee table with a manager_id on it, and a manager was replaced, it would be nice to be able to do something in hibernate that would mimic...

Code:

update employee
set manager_id = :newManager
where manager_id = :oldManager

Just thought I would run those by you. A way to do this without actually accessing the connection directly and doing straight jdbc would be really nice!

Thanks,
