The main difference we get from subclassing is that even 'internal invocations'
(contrary to 'external invocations') will invoke the decorator method
example
public Class A implements X {
public void methA() {..}
public void methB() { methA(); }
}
@Decorator
public class Adecorator implements X {
@Inject @Delegate X x;
public void methA();
}
If we do _not_ apply subclassing but proxying, then invoking methB will NOT trigger methA
from Adecorator.
If we DO force subclassing, then a call to methB will also trigger the decorator!
But that is contrary to all other EE proxying behaviour so far...

Romain,
I agree, we can't specify to use subclassing. Please take a look at
https://github.com/jboss/cdi/pull/117 where I've tried to address this, in
terms of what effects people will see.
