Hi,

I suspect that being able to use the api to fetch a list of entities when you know the ids is going to be a useful feature. Eg:

http://civicrm.org/blogs/lobo/introducing-hookcivicrmsearchcolumns-modify-search-results-meet-your-needs#new

Another example was to fetch the tags details of a entitytag.

So far, the "solution" is doing one request by id, works, but going to kill the server. It would be great if the API (well, the BAO/DAO under) could deal with both the id being an integer of an array of integers.

I did try to follow the code and got lost.

@civicore, how complicated would it be? Doable or changing so many things it's likely it's going to brake things?
