Summary: ListView with compound property model wrapping (built in)

Initial Comment:
Wicket continues to take heat from all directions for
its chunky "loop" code, usually implemented in examples
with a ListView whose subcomponents take
PropertyModels. People don't like to see field names
repeated so many times in the code; it turns them
against the framework.

We all know it's very easy to subclass ListView to
return a compound property wrapped model in an
overridden getListItemModel() method. My subclass is
called PropertyListView, and I use it far more often
than I do a plain ListView.

Forcing new users to make this essential class
themselves might be a good execise, but it's killing
Wicket in the marketing department. If such a class
were in core, examples of "how to do a loop in Wicket"
could shed off a quarter of their weight. It would save
the fans a lot of rationalization trying to justify the
(in fact unnecessary) redundancy in the code.
