    I think that would be a good patch to file for some Wonder frameworks
    like ERIndexing... it gets to be a bit of a chore having to revert the
    auto-generated _entity files in those frameworks after each update.

    There's a whole pantload of nifty methods on the Clazz objects. The
    docs for EOEnterpriseObjectClazz covers it pretty well

    http://webobjects.mdimension.com/hudson/job/Wonder53/javadoc/er/extensions/eof/EOEnterpriseObjectClazz.html

    There's also some mumbo jumbo about client-side something something
    there too, but I don't think anyone actually uses that stuff anymore
