> 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. 
> Eventually would be great to have this coordinated with the effort to cleanup the Session API and so have a unified way to load entities.  (NOTE : the contract name I am using for the time being is EntityLoadAccess, although i am not tied to this). - see HHH-2896
> Something like:
> Session.getNaturalKeyEntityLoadAccess( MyEntity.class ).get( key )
