Thanks to the astonishing stupidity of NSManagedObjectContext.perform() async throws, I can't make additional async calls in the perform block. So I’m having to jump through extraordinary hoops to work with my entities.

One of the things I’m doing is returning a dictionary representation of my fetched entity using .resultType = .dictionaryResultType. But my entity has a related entity, and none of that is being included in the fetched results (normally it would fault in when you accessed it via the related property).

Is there a way to tell the request that I want to include the whole related entity (but not its relations) in the result dictionary? I tried setting propertiesToFetch, but that returned an object ID for the related entity. I can go make another fetch request for that, but that makes it even more unwieldy.

I'm doing all of this on a dedicated background context, which gets its own queue. There is no excuse for Apple not allow async calls inside that perform block.
