/**

 * This (logical) interface is a <em>Parameter Object</em>
 * allowing additional, <code>Betwixt</code>-specific information
 * to be passed through the SAX-inspired writing API.
 * </p>

 * It is likely that access will be required to methods in the
 * <code>Context</code> used by the {@link AbstractBeanWriter}
 * but it seems better to add these as neccessary using delegation
 * rather than extending {@link Context}.
