According to UnitOfWork.php#L512 the all insertions will be executed even I want to commit single entity.
It looks doubtful. See example:

$user = $entityManager->find(User::class, $id);
foreach ($uris as $uri) {
    $document = new Document();
    $document->setUri($uri);
    $document->setUser($user);
    $entity->persist($document);
    $user->setDocumentCounter($user->getDocumentCounter() + 1);
}

$someData = $entityManager->find(SomeData::class, $id);
$someData->setFoo('bar');
$entityManager->flush($someData);
// It's unexpected for me that all documents will be persisted here, but user not.
// If this is done for reasons of data integrity, then obviously the integrity is violated.
// User should be commited with documents in single transaction.

$entityManager->flush();
