cmis:isLatestVersion not queryable

This is the document definition from the cmis:document type in nightly drop of Alfresco 3.3 enterprise (somewhere around the June 9th).  Anyway, I'm curious as to why the isLatestVersion property is not queryable.  Wouldn't it make sense to do a query that looks like

Select * from cmis:document where cmis:name="myDoc.doc" and cmis:isLatestVersion=true‍

If we can't query that, then how do we find the latest version of a document in the repository? 

<cmis:propertyBooleanDefinition>
<cmis:id>cmis:isLatestVersion</cmis:id>
<cmis:localName>isLatestVersion</cmis:localName>
<cmis:localNamespace>http://www.alfresco.org/model/cmis/1.0/cs01</cmis:localNamespace>
<cmis:displayName>Is Latest Version</cmis:displayName>
<cmis:queryName>cmis:isLatestVersion</cmis:queryName>
<cmis:description>Is this the latest version of the document?</cmis:description>
<cmis:propertyType>boolean</cmis:propertyType>
<cmis:cardinality>single</cmis:cardinality>
<cmis:updatability>readonly</cmis:updatability>
<cmis:inherited>false</cmis:inherited>
<cmis:required>true</cmis:required>
<cmis:queryable>false</cmis:queryable>  <—————-
<cmis:orderable>false</cmis:orderable>
<cmis:openChoice>false</cmis:openChoice>
</cmis:propertyBooleanDefinition>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Don't know if you using a framework, i use the OpenCMIS framework there you define whether to query all versions or not. If you do not, you will only get the latest versions of all documents.
This is also part of the CMIS specification (see http://docs.oasis-open.org/cmis/CMIS/v1.0/os/cmis-spec-v1.0.html#_Toc243905469). There you can find it by the optional query inputs.
