Actually this was done offline, so there is no record. The idea is that
you should be able to connect a bunch of transient objects via
relationships without a DataContext (and why not, right?).
Also if at least one object in such connected graph happens to be
registered with a DataContext (or registered later at some point), all its
related objects will automatically be added to the same context
(persistence by reachability).
