No, you are correct. > What nice syntaxes are out there for a PropertyHelper? The sandbox contains implementations for JEXL and JXPath, for example. A version that uses JavaScript, Jython, whatever via BSF would be trivial. > (does it has to become core?) I don't think so.

I don't believe in distributions that contain everything you may ever need. > So, PropertyHelper in not the end of the story, but it is a good > beginning. ;-) OK.
