consolidate approach for id and natural-id loading
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-2879
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2879
             Project: Hibernate3
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Steve Ebersole
            Assignee: Steve Ebersole


Currently, natural-id "loading' is only available through some incomplete criteria query hackery.  Would like to expose a proper API for performing natural-id loading.  In addition, would like this to be consolidated with the effort to cleanup the Session API and so have a unified way to load entities:

Session.getLoader( MyEntity.class ).get( id )
Session.getNaturalIdLoader( MyEntity.class ).get( naturalId )

*DISCLAIMER : do not like the term 'loader' here because of ambiguity*
