Doesn't really seem much point.

When retrieving an `Entity`, cake will as for the join to be performed
so that both entries will be retrieved in a single query.

To only retrieve the `User` on a condition in the `Entity` table,
you'd have to first retrieve the `Entity` and then (sometimes)
retrieve the `User`. The overhead of a separate query is much higher
than a join that will never happen, assuming your tables are indexed
correctly.

You can always conditionally delete the empty User() array from the
results in afterFind(), if you feel it's necessary.
