        <pre>The current code does this (for example):

- (AutomationPoint *)origin
{
    return (AutomationPoint *)[super objectForKey:&#64;&quot;origin&quot;];
}

However, at runtime the class of self is going to be RWIProtocolJSONObject *, not AutomationPoint *, so any subsequent calls to AutomationPoint properties on the return value will fail as the selectors will not be recognized.

Instead of doing a C-style pointer cast, we need to create a new AutomationPoint object that's backed by the InspectorObject retrieved from the parent object by key. This requires a new initWithXXX initializer for each object protocol type.</pre>
