[split] CI4 vs CI3/CI2

Pertti, something like Entities already exists in CI3

Wowzers, did not know that!

It was me discovering that capability when digging through CI3 code that made me want to enhance that functionality. It even existed in 2, IIRC, but wasn't documented for years.

I've also managed to get few things mixed up, as I thought from memory that in CI4 the entities gave you ORM capability.

Which looks like is actually part of Model features, but also part Entity features. Hmm... looks like this guy needs to spend a his lunchbreak reading through CI4 documentation again

Just to clarify - there are no "ORM" features. The Model class provides handy CRUD functionality that was inspired by all of the MY_Model classes people were already creating. It does not, however, provide any of the methods to manage relationships, which is what an ORM does. Just needed to clarify before a rumor got started
