allow the key for an object that will be placed into a dictionary to specified
bxml:key or use the bxml:id if one is specified.

Key: PIVOT-576
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-576
Project: Pivot
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core-beans
Reporter: Appddevvv
When adding data to the user data (or any dictionary) it would help declutter
BXML code and reduce duplication if the key for the dictionary entry could be
specified directly on the object.
Proposal:
a) Use bxml:key as the attribute that specifies the key.
b) Use bxml:id if a key is not specified.
Example:
Instead of this:
<aDictLikeUserData>
<myKey>
<MyObject ... />
</myKey>
<aDictLikeUserData>
you can use:
<aDictLikeUserData>
<MyObject bxml:key="myKey" .../>
</aDictLikeUserData>
or as a backup if key is not defined by id is:
<aDictLikeUserData>
<MyObject bxml:id="myKeyAndId" ... />
</aDictLikeUserData>
I have a BXMLSerializer patch. It's about a dozen lines including braces.
