I suppose it depends on if https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-110 makes 
it into the specification.

This sounds equivalent to the solder @ServiceHandler annotation, 
although @ServiceHandler has another layer of indirection, so you do not 
need to specify the implementation class directly on the bean.

I think this is a useful feature.
