Mike Bayer:

the common use case where folks need to INSERT or UPDATE a single row, fast.

    session.flush_object(some_object)

This would pull into the persistence.py mechanics to flush *just that one object*.  No collections, no related items.  it would skip all of flush(), unitofwork.py and go directly to save_obj, or if the object were marked deleted to delete_obj.  

Essentially its what a simple ORM would do with an obj.save() method.

for starters, it would *not* do any foreign key syncs from a related m2o, that's a UOW function.   im sure people will complain soon enough though.
