/** An automatically created aggregate of properties.
*
* I often have lists of things that need to be formatted, but the list
* items are actually pieces of data that are not already in an object. I
* need ST to do something like:
*
* Ter=3432
* Tom=32234
* ....
*
* using template:
*
* {@code $items:{it.name$=$it.type$}$}
*
* This example will call {@code getName()} on the objects in items attribute, but
* what if they aren't objects? I have perhaps two parallel arrays
* instead of a single array of objects containing two fields. One
* solution is allow {@code Map}s to be handled like properties so that {@code it.name}
* would fail {@code getName()} but then see that it's a {@code Map} and do
* {@code it.get("name")} instead.
*
* This very clean approach is espoused by some, but the problem is that
* it's a hole in my separation rules. People can put the logic in the
* view because you could say: "go get bob's data" in the view:
*
* Bob's Phone: {@code $db.bob.phone$}
*
* A view should not be part of the program and hence should never be able
* to go ask for a specific person's data.
*
* After much thought, I finally decided on a simple solution. I've
* added setAttribute variants that pass in multiple property values,
* with the property names specified as part of the name using a special
* attribute name syntax: {@code "name.{propName1,propName2,...}"}. This
* object is a special kind of {@code HashMap} that hopefully prevents people
* from passing a subclass or other variant that they have created as
* it would be a loophole. Anyway, the {@link AggregateModelAdaptor#getProperty}
* method looks for {@code Aggregate} as a special case and does a {@link #get} instead
* of {@code getPropertyName}.
