That's internal code in Adapter and Componentized, no? I won't be
touching that.

Sure, think up a new name. To be honest, I think the way Componentized
interacts with Adapter is ugly. I haven't looked at it closely enough to
be sure exactly why - I just glanced at it, but really I'd think a
special method that returns some info to the Componentized would be
cleaner than checking attributes. Or something.
