Joseph Marques commented on HBX-906:
------------------------------------

You *can't know* or you currently don't have the information at your fingertips?

One way of doing might be to transform "select new Obj(p1, p2, p3) from..." under the covers into "select p1, p2, p3 from..."   This way, the results come back in a nice, orderly, decomposed fashion every time - and you still have the semantic equivalent to what the user actually typed.

> If I have some class called SomeObject WITHOUT a toString method, and I have some statement like "select new SomeObject(p1, p2, p3)", the results look like
> 0
> SomeObject at 19cd8ea
> SomeObject at 65168f
> SomeObject at ac1d0e
> SomeObject at 1a79e4
> SomeObject at 9cd89b
> SomeObject at 11c00d8
> ...
> Instead, why not attempt to show the results as:
>   0                              1                              2
> <p1.toString()>     <p2.toString()>     <p3.toString()>
> <p1.toString()>     <p2.toString()>     <p3.toString()>
> <p1.toString()>     <p2.toString()>     <p3.toString()>
> In other words, statements like "select new SomeObject(p1, p2, p3) ..." should default to the same results that "select p1, p2, p3 ..." would.
> Thoughts?
