Minimal implementation of the DynaClass interface. Can be used as a convenience base class for more sophisticated implementations.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE - The DynaBean implementation class supplied to our constructor MUST have a one-argument constructor of its own that accepts a DynaClass. This is used to associate the DynaBean instance with this DynaClass.
