/**
* <p>PropertyDescriptor subclass that describes an indexed set of read/write
* methods to get a property. Unlike IndexedPropertyDescriptor this allows
* the "key" to be an arbitrary object rather than just an int. Consequently
* it does not have a "readMethod" or "writeMethod" because it only expects
* a pattern like:</p>
*<pre>
* public void set<i>Property</i>(<i>KeyType</i>, <i>ValueType</i>);
* public <i>ValueType</i> get<i>Property</i>(<i>KeyType</i>);
*</pre>
* <p>and does not require the methods that access it as an array. OGNL can
* get away with this without losing functionality because if the object
* does expose the properties they are most probably in a Map and that case
* is handled by the normal OGNL property accessors.
*</p>
*<p>For example, if an object were to have methods that accessed and "attributes"
* property it would be natural to index them by String rather than by integer
* and expose the attributes as a map with a different property name:
*<pre>
* public void setAttribute(String name, Object value);
* public Object getAttribute(String name);
* public Map getAttributes();
*</pre>
*<p>Note that the index get/set is called get/set <code>Attribute</code>
* whereas the collection getter is called <code>Attributes</code>. This
* case is handled unambiguously by the OGNL property accessors because the
* set/get<code>Attribute</code> methods are detected by this object and the
* "attributes" case is handled by the <code>MapPropertyAccessor</code>.
* Therefore OGNL expressions calling this code would be handled in the
* following way:
*</p>
*<table>
* <tr><th>OGNL Expression</th>
* <th>Handling</th>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td><code>attribute["name"]</code></td>
* <td>Handled by an index getter, like <code>getAttribute(String)</code>.</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td><code>attribute["name"] = value</code></td>
* <td>Handled by an index setter, like <code>setAttribute(String, Object)</code>.</td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td><code>attributes["name"]</code></td>
* <td>Handled by <code>MapPropertyAccessor</code> via a <code>Map.get()</code>. This
* will <b>not</b> go through the index get accessor.
* </td>
* </tr>
* <tr>
* <td><code>attributes["name"] = value</code></td>
* <td>Handled by <code>MapPropertyAccessor</code> via a <code>Map.put()</code>. This
* will <b>not</b> go through the index set accessor.
* </td>
* </tr>
* </table>
