I think we should support a full CRUD language.  Specifically, I mean 
that the user should not be restricted to just specifying the WHERE 
clause, but they should be required to specify a DELETE clause also.  
Then we just put in a restriction that a remove method on the home 
interface is only allowed to remove entities of the current type.  This 
is the same restriction finders have.

The reason I think we should have a full CRUD language is it allows an 
ejbSelect style method (although we may call it something else) to 
delete any set of objects with a single operation.  This will be 
particularly useful to delete a subset of related objects.
