            So... why not throw an exception then?

            I know, but in my code I was not calling deleteObject() individually on
    a per-object basis, nor do I want to. Also I believe that deleteObject()
    is deprecated.

            Sorry lately I've been putting a lot of pressure into making Cayenne
    fail-fast on more issues but you said yourself you'd like to improve
    Cayenne's error reporting and I feel this is a vital step in the right
    direction. Since it makes little sense to apply a context operation on
    an object that does not belong to it I don't think anything will be lost
    by throwing an exceception. If the design changes in the future we can
    simply remove the exception. Anyway, I'd like to add it, are you -1, 0
    or +1 on this?
