In the above statement it is not clear which relation is filtered. If
you mix filtering *ToMay and Root-Filtering you might get confused.

At least adding the relation name on filterMany() might be required:

Ebean.find(Customer.class)
    .where().startsWith("name","A")
    .*filterMany("orders")*.eq("orders.status",
    Order.Status.NEW).gt("orders.orderDate", lastWeek)

... or what about that:

Query<Customer> custQuery = Ebean.find(Customer.class);
custQuery.where().startWith("name", "A");

Query<Order> custOrderQuery = custQuery.findMany("orders",
Order.class);
custOrderQuery.where().eg("status", Order.Status.NEW).gt("orderDate",
lastWeek);

But this might be too much work, no?
