    Not sure if you have already address FetchSpec bindings in the
    velocity eogenerator yet, but I couldn't seem to find what I was
    looking for so am following this up now.

    That should do it.

    Yes, but it also needs to include the class type of the attribute so
    an appropriate argument string can be built from it.

    Here is what I expect the velocity version of the previous EOGen
    template should roughly look like:

    #foreach ($fetchSpec in $entity.sortedFetchSpecs)
       public static NSArray fetch${fetchSpec.name}(EOEditingContext
    ec#foreach ($binding in $fetchSpec.bindings), ${binding.codeType} $
    {binding.name}Binding#end) {
    #if ($fetchSpec.bindings.count > 0)
         NSMutableDictionary bindings = new NSMutableDictionary($
    {fetchSpec.bindings.count});
    #foreach ($binding in $fetchSpec.bindings)
         if (${binding.name}Binding != null)
                bindings.setObjectForKey(${binding.name}Binding, "$
    {binding.name}");
    #end
    #end
            return EOUtilities.objectsWithFetchSpecificationAndBindings(
              ec,
              "${entity.name}",
              "${fetchSpec.name}",
    #if ($fetchSpec.bindings.count > 0)
           bindings);
    #else
           null);
    #end
       }
