Thanks for the lecture on the need to make things easy for users.
Clearly it's an issue that had not occurred to me before. Wow, I had
never considered thinking of things from the POV of a user!

It's a point I seem to make frequently.

Including a jar in the classpath is actually much more work than
including a pre-written beans.xml file!

That's why the JAR is included by default via Maven -- or provided in the "Dump these jars into your app" folder that we have in the Dist-releases. No extra work required to include it.

You mentioned this a few times, so I'll bite: What other kind of frameworks, those that would provide interceptors, do you see people needing to use, specifically those that would conflict with our interceptors? Frameworks that more than 5% of people will be using.
