    I recognize the issue now, but we may get away without introducing
    explicit type. EOF doesn't force you to select the type after all.

    I guess instead of adding type we should simply allow setting
    dbEntityName independently from superEntityName. This way an
    ObjEntity can inherit from another ObjEntity, but map to an entirely
    different table.
