The default MetaClass infrastructure inside of Groovy asks for the

Is this a _requirement_ though? (asking, not implying it isn't)

If we are going to say that x.y means use the JavaBeans property y, then yes it is a _requirement_. How else would we find out that the bean author has set the method 'quackQuack(int)' to be the setter for property y?
