I have the feeling that this solution would have indirectly gone through the Dispatcher as well. Yes, it would go through the dispatcher as well. But that becomes an internal detail of how the proxy factory works, and doesn't leak into StatefulContainer. I'm not advocating changing this for 4.x, as the usage of dispatcher is not going to change. :) But for trunk, think about it a bit.
