Description

getBy and upsertBy load the entire row even when that is sometimes not necessary.
Often I just want to upsert without loading the result.
I would use repsert but that takes a key instead of a uniqueness constraint.

getKeyBy would let me implement upsertBy_ myself.
Alternatively, uniqueToFilters :: Unique record -> [Filter record] would let me do it as well.

Research direction

Locate the existing getBy, upsertBy, and repsert entry points and compare how uniqueness constraints are represented. Clarify whether the requested scope is getKeyBy, upsertBy_, or uniqueToFilters, then add coverage showing the selected API avoids loading an unnecessary row and works across the supported storage methods.
