You mean BeanInfoUtilTestCase and the SetGetHook hack?
Yup, almost the same mistake as FromContext. :-(

It's the 'middle' nested beans that are the root of the problem, since I've hacked them to work with sub's.
I think the original idea was generic OK. :-)

Hmm, I think it's not that horrible, since apart from FromContext I don't remember any other generic hack that I've introduced in the main code.
Perhaps a few tests might also be questionable ...

But yeah, why not, I'll turn this on.
In IDEA, definitely not in Eclipse. ;-)
