I think we should add this to the TypeExtractor, otherwise it becomes very
clumsy.
I am using the same logic in my applications and defining the TypeInfo in
returns gets awkward after a while and is also harder for the users who are not
very familiar with the system (how to use the TypeExtractor.getForObject etc).
