Including entity via OnModelCreating creates table but is not available in context

File a bug

The docs page for Entity Types indicates that entities can be included in a few ways, including using it in OnModelCreating().

The table is created, however the entity cannot be accessed via the context.

Include your code

Include entity type

protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
{
    modelBuilder.Entity<AuditEntry>();
}

Cannot access entity type

    var auditEntries = context.AuditEntry.ToList(); // compile time error

Here is the error:

‘Context’ does not contain a definition for ‘AuditEntry’ and no accessible extension method ‘AuditEntry’ accepting a first argument of type ‘Context’ could be found

Include provider and version information

EF Core version: 5.0.4 Database provider: Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer Target framework: .NET 5.0 Operating system: macOS 10.15.7 IDE: Visual Studio for Mac 8.10 Preview 1

I think the issue is poor documentation of using DbConext.Set!
