Tobias Bocanegra commented on JCRVLT-335:
-----------------------------------------
of course you are correct. The project grew quite unstructured over the last 10
years, so a lot of the API isn't correct :-)
Unfortunately, I don't have time to rewrite it, not can we break backward
compatibility of the public API....
The best we can do, is to check the class of the parameter and try to work
around if it's not an internal one.
