Content Pipeline and FX files

I noticed that on the post which Michael Klucher made on the content pipeline back in August that the FX files had importers for the Content pipeline included. I was wondering if anyone knew how it works? ie does it

a: simply compile the shader and create the binary shader file, which is loaded in at runtime

b: Create an effect wrapper around it. By this i mean a little like a strongly typed dataset - rather than having to constantly lookup what parameters are required by a particular shader (ie worldviewproj), does it created a descendant of Effect and have properties that are set at designtime, so we know that we should never get errors from passing in values with incorrect names.

I would guess that a is what will be in there, but b would be really nice............
