I don't get why you need the asClass() (or any other method call in here), just
declare a method
<T> T get(key, Value.class);
surely?
Yeah I agree, an asClass() method means an intermediate object and extra
step which is a little clunky. Adding one method doesn't hurt.
I'd like to see what the unmarshalling logic for this will look like -
it is a novel and interesting, yet simple, solution; my favorite kind. :)
