Comment:

 Would be great if this possible, losing out on everything WP_Query can
 provide for query building (meta_query, tax_query, search, etc), simply
 because it doesn't prime caches for the posts returned (exactly like any
 non-default 'fields' currently does in core).

 I think we ''should'' encourage this through WP_Query, let's not make
 people write more custom SQL that is anything but backwards compatible,
 pretty please?
