[API Proposal]: IProfileExpression.CreateBidirectionalMap

[deeprobin]

Motivation

In my opinion its easier to write (and more readable)

mapper.CreateBidirectionalMap<TypeA, TypeB>();

instead of

mapper.CreateMap<TypeA, TypeB>().ReverseMap();

Proposal

namespace AutoMapper {
    public interface IProfileExpression {
        IMappingExpression<T1, T2> CreateBidirectionalMap<T1, T2>();
        IMappingExpression<T1, T2> CreateBidirectionalMap<T1, T2>(MemberList memberList);
        IMappingExpression CreateBidirectionalMap(Type firstType, Type secondType);
        IMappingExpression CreateBidirectionalMap(Type firstType, Type secondType, MemberList memberList);
    }
}

You can easily have that in your own code.

Of course I can write an extension method. But in my opinion this would be a useful API, because I have already seen this .ReverseMap construct in several codebases.

We already have a dedicated API for simple cases, attribute mapping, I don't think we need these ad hoc helpers.
