You added new methods to an interface that's potentially designed for clients to implement. Or, is this interface supposed to get 2 new methods every point release? Adrian Brock "yelled" at me for doing something like this on a fairly obscure internal interface, and I don't and didn't work for JBoss. Hasn't he knocked a few times wondering what's going on? | | 1) This isn't an external interface that clients implement 2) This isn't a point-release.

Saving memory is certainly nice, but next time I won't bring it up since it seems to just confuse people. | Nothing to confuse, we just opted for code readability over potentially saving a few bytes. Storing such metadata in a Properties object does make sense, but until we can implement sufficient internal changes to replicate and persist such metadata, it is pointless.
