This is the use case of anyone who has a non-default mapping on any property of type byte, short, integer, long, float or double and uses the criteria API. That's not a common condition but certainly not specific to my application or even my class of application (or database). It is certainly a less surprising and more general case than the instances where values need to be inlined for query planning purposes.

I would not call working around irregular behavior 'being explicit'.
