I am talking about ability to access methods of that format in general,
not just the ability to get at the Content-type. In general WebMacro
can treat:
Thing.getFoo("Bar") / Thing.setFoo("Bar", "baz")
as the implementation of a property called Thing.Foo.Bar, whereas the
beans spec does not by default allow access to such methods.
WebMacro introspection is a superset of bean introspection.
