/**
 * Helper class to perform property introspection and dynamic writing.
 *
 * In contrast to [[PropertyReflector]] which only introspects regular objects,
 * this ObjectWriter is also able to handle maps and arrays.
 * For maps properties are key-pairs identified by string keys,
 * For arrays properties are elements identified by integer index.
 *
 * This class has symmetric implementation across all languages supported
 * by Pip.Services toolkit and used to support dynamic data processing.
 *
 * Because all languages have different casing and case sensitivity rules,
 * this ObjectWriter treats all property names as case insensitive.
 *
 * @see [[PropertyReflector]]
 *
 * ### Example ###
 *
 *     let myObj = new MyObject();
 *
 *     ObjectWriter.setProperty(myObj, "myProperty", 123);
 *
 *     let myMap = { key1: 123, key2: "ABC" };
 *     ObjectWriter.setProperty(myMap, "key1", "XYZ");
 *
 *     let myArray = [1, 2, 3]
 *     ObjectWriter.setProperty(myArray, "0", 123);
