I don't think that it was solvable. Almost any soltion world require cooperation of the classes implementing the create method. What we can do is adapting all core classes that use the createPattern to also provide the add pattern (with modifications along the lines you suggest) - and make IntrospectionHelper favor addXYZ over createXYZ just as it setXYZ(SomeType) over setXYZ(String) now.
