/**
 * <p>A simple helper class that does everything that needs to be done to get
 * the nested tag extension to work. The tags will pass in their relative
 * properties and this class will leverage the accessibility of the request
 * object to calculate the nested references and manage them from a central
 * place.</p>
 *
 * <p>The helper method {@link #setNestedProperties} takes a reference to the
 * tag itself so all the simpler tags can have their references managed from a
 * central location. From here, the reference to a provided name is also
 * preserved for use.</p>
 *
 * <p>With all tags keeping track of themselves, we only have to seek to the
 * next level, or parent tag, were a tag will append a dot and it's own
 * property.</p>
