Re: Torque 4.0 - Add delete() / loadByPk(...) methods to Record object

+1 on both. Would it make sense to rename the loadByPk() method reload() ?
If yes, it could make sense to generate the method also if no pk exists 
but then throwing an exception.

I also like Thoams' idea of sessing isNew to triue after the object has 
been deleted.

Do you mind adding this to the wiki page ?
