/**
   General purpose Object property setter. Clients repeatedly invokes

   JavaBeans {@link Introspector} to analyze the given Object Class using
   reflection.

     PropertySetter ps = new PropertySetter(anObject);
     ps.set("name", "Joe");
     ps.set("age", "32");
     ps.set("isMale", "true");
