Yes, both true.

Yes, although then one might want type info as well. Perhaps a
getAllFields method neturning a two dimensional String array of field
names and types. But now we're halfway towards a reimplementation of the
whole reflection API. Mind you given reflection is so slow this isn't
necessarily a bad thing. But its starting to feel overengineered.

Thanks. I wouldn't mind other opinions though, I still don't feel quite
happy enough about this to propose it yet.
And maybe I should be looking at contributing functionality to intake
instead, as I said to Jason about his Transformations proposal intake is
moving towards obviating the need for setProperties, and is looking like
offering a whole lot more functionality...
