Description

I would like to propose access to all jcr Node methods from ScriptableNode and access to the jcr Property.

I recently wanted to access the Property.getLength() method from a .esp script and didn't find a good way starting
out from my very convenient ScriptableNode.

This discussion already talks about a similar issue:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg01481.html

So ideally somthing like an automatic getter mapping that I know from earlier rhino projects would mean
that I could access the same information through for example prop.length or prop.getLength().

I think it would be great if all jcr Property and Node methods would be exposed, otherwise we are hiding jcr features from
the script user. I think maybe the solution also requires a ScriptableProperty.

WDYT?
