Yes, the new philosophy is that if you need a special method for adding 
content, then you have to write it yourself. For example, we used to have 
setObject(id, obj); the reason this method is gone now is that it required 
you to pass an id, even though it was not necessary. The simplest way for you 
would be to create a method called setObject(obj) or so.
