I guess the question was whether we want this in Cayenne mapping in
some form:
..nheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED)
or guess the strategy from other mapping clues (the later is our
current approach). It was more of a discussion item on what are the
benefits of either approach.

Actually my plan is to use OUTER joins in Cayenne SELECT queries, so
entity type will be determined from the presence of the non-null
joined ID column in the result set and explicit discriminator ("entity
qualifier expression" in Cayenne terms) won't be needed.
