getting a node from a value

hey guys, 

shouldn't there be a direct way to get Nodes from a multivalued
reference property? something like :


	Node [] getNodes() on the Property class

or even :

	Node getNode() on the Value class

instead I'm finding myself going through :

	ItemManager itemMgr = ((SessionImpl) session).getItemManager();
	Value[] values = property.getValues();
	for (Value value : values) {
		Node node = (Node) itemMgr.getItem(new NodeId(value.getString()));
		...
	}

I don't like this because it's ugly, it's using jackrabbit specific
calls for something that shouldn't and it is hard to mock.

can we add one of the first two calls?
