findMany() issue with outputFormatting, not consistent with find()

[er314]

a page obtained via get() or find() initially has its outputFormatting at true,
while a page obtained via findMany() does not ; I would expect that it does, too.

$id = 9739;  // or whatever

$pg = pages()->get("id={$id}");
echo (int)$pg->of();  // of=1

$arrPg = pages()->find("id={$id}");
$pg = $arrPg->first();
echo (int)$pg->of();  // of=1

$arrPgMany = pages()->findMany("id={$id}");
$pg = $arrPgMany->first();
echo (int)$pg->of();  // of=0 !!!

@er314 Since you used findMany() the page is a lazy-loading placeholder. It isn't technically loaded until you access something from it. If you update your example to this, then you should get the correct output formatting state:

$arrPgMany = pages()->findMany("id={$id}");
$pg = $arrPgMany->first();
$pg->title; // triggers page to load
echo (int)$pg->of();

@ryancramerdesign hmm... now look at this :

$arrPgMany = pages()->findMany("id={$id}");
$pg = $arrPgMany->first();
$pg->getFormatted("title"); // alternate triggers page to load... but not lazy-loading-friendly
$pg->title; // re-triggers page to load, better safe than sorry
echo (int)$pg->of(); // -> but nope, 0 again

All in all, this doesn't give confidence in using findMany() interchangeably with find()

hello @ryancramerdesign ,
please reassess with my updated example above, where $pg->getFormatted() breaks the status of $pg->of()
