writeNestedProperty?

    For some reason, I thought CayenneDataObject had a
    writeNestedProperty() method, but it doesn't seem to. It looks like
    PropertyUtils has the ability to do this, though (although I might
    need to patch it). Would it make since to make writing nested paths
    available in CayenneDataObject, too?

    Also, while I'm thinking of path-type things, would it make since to
    change readNestedProperty() to handle this case (quoting from the
    JavaDoc):

    Read to-many relationship in the middle of the path (throws exception):
    String name = (String)artist.readNestedProperty("paintingArray.paintingName");

    If memory serves, I believe EOF handles this situation by returning an
    array or list of paintingName values. Then you could do:

    List names = (List) artist.readNestedProperty("paintingArray.paintingName");

    Thanks,
