[hibernate-dev] Annotation name for column-level read/write expression

Hey guys,
I've implemented http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4510 and committed it. It basically looks like that

@Entity
class CreditCard {
   @Column(name="credit_card_num")
   @ReadWriteExpression(
      forColumn="credit_card_num", 
      read="decrypt(credit_card_num)", 
      write="encrypt(?)")
   public String getCreditCardNumber() { return creditCardNumber; }
   public void setCreditCardNumber(String number) { this.creditCardNumber = number; }
   private String creditCardNumber;
}

However, I am not super happy about @ReadWriteExpression as a name. @ColumnReadWriteExpression is the most correct name but quite mouthful. 

Anybody gets a better idea?

Emmanuel
