desribe path with an object model
---------------------------------

                 Key: BVAL-143
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-143
             Project: Bean Validation
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: spec-general
    Affects Versions: 1.0 proposed final draft
            Reporter: Emmanuel Bernard
            Priority: Minor


path are today strings with dot separating properties. But it break when Set or Iterable are used.
We could replace that with
--- First strawman, must evolve --
class PathElement {
  String getName();
  PathElement getParentPath();
  boolean isIterable();
  boolean isIndexed();
  Object getIndex();
  //TODO int getIndex()?

  // not happy about that as it is only useful for Constraintciolation
  PathElement getChild();
}

PathElement would be used for Constraintvuilation, maybe CVContext etc

can this be refactored using inheritance +  generics to have an IndexedPathElement only when it matters (probably no unfortunately)
