  *        ASSEMBLERREVIEW

  *  1) The combination of persistence and translation methods (assemble/disassemble vs get/save):

  *          - has confused some developers

  *          - after working through some of it, it looks like most assemblers would do one or other other

  *          - TargetType vs SourceType is odd looking for persistence only assembers, ends up being Assembler<Whatever, Void>

  *  

  *  2) Need to come up with a clean way of copying properties that are passthrough without a lot of boilerplate code, but...

  *          - many "passthrough" properties will still have a rename along the way, and possibly a transformation of their position within the graph, e.g.

  *                  cluInfo/officialIdentifier/shortName -> proposal/transcriptTitle
