How to edit dexterity types without needing to know about their behaviors

Hi,

I think, Andreas has a point here:

https://www.andreas-jung.com/contents/bad-dexterity-application-design

I'm not missing Archetypes accessors/setters, but I have seen similar
issues with Dexterity types: it's not clear how some property should be
updated.

I guess, it would be possible to create a magic adapter to figure out
all the currently active behaviors for the context content object,
resolve all their fields and then provide implicit setters and getters,
which again would use the respective behaviors for gettin/setting values.

Or is there already a one somewhere hidden in plone.dexterity or supermodel?
