I guess I’m not much of a fan of this, and I think it would be better if we asked people to write: from Entity where cast ( enum as Integer ) > 1 since that’s more explicit and more obviously meaningful, or, at least from Entity where enum > ENUM_VALUE But perhaps for the sake of backwards compatibility we need to keep supporting the version without the enum>1 version. Though perhaps we should find some way to discourage it. This is something I guess we should discuss internally.
