Description

It would be helpful to have a class PropertyTypeTraits<T> which would provide a user-friendly mechanism for getting the types of the inputs/results to/from a property type of type T.

There may already be something like this (FieldTuple?).

Research direction

Clarify the intended inputs and results exposed for a property type T, then define completion as a documented PropertyTypeTraits mechanism that provides those types in a user-friendly way.
