//TODO: ideally we need the construction of PropertyAccessor to take the following:
// 1) EntityMode
// 2) EntityMode-specific data (i.e., the classname for pojo entities)
// 3) Property-specific data based on the EntityMode (i.e., property-name or dom4j-node-name)
// The easiest way, with the introduction of the new runtime-metamodel classes, would be the
// the following predicates:
// 1) PropertyAccessorFactory.getPropertyAccessor() takes references to both a
// org.hibernate.metadata.EntityModeMetadata and org.hibernate.metadata.Property
// 2) What is now termed a "PropertyAccessor" stores any values needed from those two
// pieces of information
// 3) Code can then simply call PropertyAccess.getGetter() with no parameters; likewise with
// PropertyAccessor.getSetter()
/// <summary> Retrieves a PropertyAccessor instance based on the given property definition and entity mode. </summary>
/// <param name="property">The property for which to retrieve an accessor. </param>
/// <param name="mode">The mode for the resulting entity. </param>
/// <returns> An appropriate accessor. </returns>

//TODO: this is temporary in that the end result will probably not take a Property reference per-se.
