How does one access the mesh variable of a Mesh Particle Emitter?

Apparently ParticleEmitter is a class but MeshParticleEmitter is not. This is a problem when you need to access the mesh : Mesh variable. The ParticleEmitter class does not contain said variable.

Thoughts?

The mesh used by the mesh filter is the same mesh that's used by the mesh particle emitter, so you can access it that way.

It only makes sense accessing the mesh variable when you have a mesh on it. Before that why should you do such a thing?
