Yeah, I kindof figured this after being bitten quite hard when I set the value
in that box to something else and couldn't figure out why none of my content
was showing up in Folder views :-S
Okay, I can understand why ScriptableTypeInfo objects needs this (even though
it is a bit clunky...), but why can't FTI's just inspect the product they know
they're going to use to create the object?
cheers,
