It would be great to have a method to get entity change set without changing internal unit of work state:

$user = $em->find(User::class, 1);
$user->setAge(10);
$user->setName('John');
$em->getUnitOfWork()->recomputeChangeSets();
$logger->log(User::class, 1, $em->getUnitOfWork()->getEntityChangeSet($user));
$em->flush();

Code above works great, but issue is that it changes internal state of UoW. (updates original snapshots). So if I change code to:

$user = $em->find(User::class, 1);
$user->setAge(10);
$user->setName('John');
$em->getUnitOfWork()->recomputeChangeSets();
$logger->log(User::class, 1, $em->getUnitOfWork()->getEntityChangeSet($user));
$user->setEnabled(true); //previous value was false
$em->flush();

Only "enabled" property is persisted. Changes of age and name are forgotten (unless I recompute change sets manually again)

It would be great to have method which just calculates change sets and returns them (with not internal changes to UoW)
