 /** 
 23  
  * A plugin Strategy pattern which will detect the plural property which
 24  
  * maps to a singular property name.
 25  
  * This Strategy is used when composite properties (such as properties
 26  
  * of type Collection, List, Iterator, Enumeration) are used as we need to
 27  
  * match the adder-method, which typically uses a singular name.
 28  
  * This interface allows a variety of different implementations to be used.
