[Lincoln Baxter III (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-719?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12741333#comment-12741333 ] 

Lincoln Baxter III commented on FORGE-719:
------------------------------------------

Of course we can provide some convenience APIs on top of this as well, but we need something core and low-level to provide the kind of abstraction necessary. I'm not saying my suggestion is the answer, but it's got to be something that really provides a strong type-safe view of how to interact with the user data.
