Alternatively, we could actually go further than this and simply
eliminate the concept of the "Web Bean remove method" and the
@Destructor annotation. @Remove methods are really intended to be
called by clients, not by the container - and if you just want a
callback, we already have @PreDestroy. I'm not sure that @Destructor
is really adding any additional value.

The more I think about this, the more I think this is the right way to
go (and it simplifies the spec).
