* Provide PluginWrapper method for getting hold of a nested wrapper
directly (a bit gross, but useful)
* Use the above to enable the simple host to adjust timestamps
appropriately when printing out results from input domain adapter
wrapped plugins

     * AveragingMethod indicates how the adapter should handle

     * equally spaced in time.
     *
     * If SampleAverage is specified, summary types based on averages
     * will be calculated by treating each result individually without
     * regard to its time: for example, the mean will be the sum of
     * all values divided by the number of values.
     *
     * If ContinuousTimeAverage is specified, each feature will be
     * considered to have a duration, either as specified in the
     * feature's duration field, or until the following feature: thus,
     * for example, the mean will be the sum of the products of values
     * and durations, divided by the total duration.
     *
     * Although SampleAverage is useful for many types of feature,
     * ContinuousTimeAverage is essential for some situations, for
     * example finding the result that spans the largest proportion of
     * the input given a feature that emits a new result only when the
     * value changes (the modal value integrated over time).
