[cdi-dev] Building EJB-like @Asynchronous via interceptor in CDI

@arjan Your example is base on  ManagedExecutorService from the Java EE
Concurrency spec. That's one topic we've been wondering about : should the
@Asynchronous interceptor go to the Java EE Concurrency spec or not ? But
it looks like the spec might not be updated.
