Re: Adding setComment on SFieldMeta

Well, I don't get you here...
You seem to assume everybody expects that keys in Maps are String, and
that no one will notice that SFieldProperty.PROMPT and "PROMPT" are not
the same objects !

I think on the contrary that using an enum object as the key for the
library's own "user" properties makes it perfectly clear that they are
internal to the library and will ensure that they won't conflict with
the user namespaces (be they "clever" Strings or any other object).
Moreover, users will use the setPrompt / getPrompt shortcuts, so they
will probably never notice what the key is.

On the contrary, enums are the perfect namespaces for Maps. Using
Strings with prefixes to try to mimic what enums do perfectly seems odd
to me...

What do you think I'm missing ?
