A single message type can be used as both a message and as a group, so there
is no way to tell which it is from the Descriptor. You have to have the
FieldDescriptor in the containing message.

hmm this is a slight problem. I am iterating over the nested messages and
then generating a message/group code. I don't have reference to the specific

Why do you need to generate different code for the two? All the official
code generators generate exactly the same code for message classes whether
they be nested messages or groups. Version 1 of protocol buffers generated
different classes and it proved to be an enormous pain.

They have different wire type (2; 3 and 4). They are stored in different
ways and because of that they have a little bit different code inside
parsing/serializing methods.
