Comments: @vulgarbinary: We would certainly consider a contribution in this area and we could accept it if the changes met our design, quality and testing criteria. I have to point out that I believe implementing this feature would most likely require changes to a very complex area of the EF codebase and that such changes are inherently high risk, so the risk would need to be mitigated appropriately, e.g. with very thorough test coverage, isolating the change from existing supported scenarios, etc. My recommendation would be to start by reviewing our [contribution guidelines](https://entityframework.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Contributing) and completing the requisites and by initiating a thread in our [discussion forums](https://entityframework.codeplex.com/discussions). We can the start talk over your ideas on how to implement it. Also, could you please elaborate about the 'very inefficient anonymous type select'. Are you talking about the difficulty of writing/reading complex projections or about runtime inefficiencies?
