Well, I could possibly extend Arquillian by another class T an let my
test class extend this T class. There is another problem, though. The
DatagridManager class already contains such shortcuts methods and I
committed this class into infinispan-core for maintainability reasons.
Utility classes that this class is using are changing quite often. If I
wrote such helper class with shortcut methods in ispn-arq-container, I
would need to maintain it manually (when anything changes in
infinispan-core).
