We should support that, but looks like there is no Jira issue (and
hence - no activity) - we need to open one.
On a related note, there have been requests to do on the fly type
conversions when evaluating expressions in memory (e.g. when doing a
comparison across different numeric types). Now such functionality
also seems within reach - new "cayenne.property" package has a number
of non-public converters that do something similar already.
