yep.

i'm sort of thinking forward to when we get time to complete the 
beanutification of beanutils (i know that it's been a long time coming). 
it would be useful to be able to easily create subclasses that took 
particular beanutilbean instances. this would allow (say) custom 
converters to be registered at different patterns.
