I imagine something similar to the `InstanceProvider` I've proposed.

But I don't think I agree that a ServiceLoader + a new config to chose the right one is better than a new config pointing to the class + an API to provide the instance in the bootstrap. At least that's not consistent with our treatment of `TraversableResolver`, `MessageInterpolator` and `ConstraintValidatorFactory`. And we know that service loader files (META-INF/services/*) don't play well in modular environments esp OSGi.
