Ivelin,
I got reply from Dmitri. I'm copying it below. Unfortunately I was right and
there's not better way of making it with Containers other that the casting I
proposed. Maybe when updating to 1.1.
I'll rewrite the how-to tomorrow if I can find a couple hours and put it in
the Wiki so you could see it all. If you feel it's ok, then we'll talk about
how to make it available for the official docs, ok?
Thanks for your help.
