I'm still thinking that 'unwrapping' GenericEntity makes sense even if a
given filter replaces a current entity with GenericEntity, after all the
filter which replaces an entity is more interested in the follow-up
filters and writers to get the updates.
So, to summarize, relevant ContainerResponseFilter getters should never
return GenericEntity if the current entity happens to be GenericEntity
(instance, class, type) but unwrap it.
Agreed ?
