@jacques-n I haven't been able to use the writer framework, as it doesn't
support all the operations we're doing (like dictionary encoding and fixed size
lists, if I remember correctly). Our main data structure is a GeoTools
SimpleFeature, which is basically just an `Array<Object>` with well-defined
types at each index. For a lot of our work, I can set things up front to be the
right types, and then say have an array of `Accessor`s and call `.getObject()`
on them. However, `Mutator` doesn't have a generic setter method, so instead I
have to cast down to the exact implementing class to call all the set methods.
