I agree. I think it would be a great feature; I worry that it might be  
a bit complicated to implement, but maybe not... if we add a boolean  
state bit to RDO objects saying whether or not they've been modified  
since last load or save, then we could look through relationships on  
save() for other modified bits.

Suggestions, patches? Feel free to create an enhancment ticket for this, btw.
