23   * <p>
24   * DynaClass which implements the {@code MutableDynaClass} interface.
25   * </p>
26   *
27   * <p>
28   * A {@code MutableDynaClass</code> is a specialized extension to <code>DynaClass}
29   *    that allows properties to be added or removed dynamically.</p>
30   *
31   * <p>This implementation has one slightly unusual default behavior - calling
32   *    the {@code getDynaProperty(name)} method for a property which doesn't
33   *    exist returns a {@code DynaProperty</code> rather than <code>null}. The reason for this is that {@code BeanUtils} calls this method to check if a property
34   * exists before trying to set the value. This would defeat the object of the {@code LazyDynaBean} which automatically adds missing properties when any of its
35   * {@code set()} methods are called. For this reason the {@code isDynaProperty(name)} method has been added to this implementation in order to determine if a
36   * property actually exists. If the more <em>normal</em> behavior of returning {@code null} is required, then this can be achieved by calling the
37   * {@code setReturnNull(true)}.
38   * </p>
39   *
40   * <p>
41   * The {@code add(name, type, readable, writable)} method is not implemented and always throws an {@code UnsupportedOperationException}. I believe this
42   * attributes need to be added to the {@code DynaProperty} class in order to control read/write facilities.
43   * </p>
