The question pretty much says it all.

If I have a class Class A

public class A {
    ...
    private List<String> keys;
    ...
}

And I want to select all A instances from the DataStore that have atleast one of a List of keys, is there a better way of doing it than this:

query = pm.newQuery(A.class);
query.setFilter("keys.contains(:key1) || keys.contains(:key2) || keys.contains(:key3)");
List<A> results = (List<A>)query.execute(key1, key2, key3);

This has not yet been implemented, so I am open to radical suggestions.
