-------------------------------------

Note, especially since this could be handled in the annotations themselves...

> Currently the AnnotationBinder translates a JPA CascadeType.REMOVE as follows:
> case REMOVE:
>   cascade.append( "," ).append( "delete" );
> However, if I use XML mapping files I have to use cascade="delete" to get the same effect. A practical example why this is very inconvenient for users, documentation, etc: I want to translate the following annotation mapping to XML:
> @OneToMany(cascade = { CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE, CascadeType.REMOVE})
> I end up with:
> <set name="foo" cascade="persist, merge, delete">
> I recommend adding "remove" as an alias for "delete" to the map in engine/CascadeStyle.java
