>From what I can tell, code that used to do:

manager.getInstanceByType(clazz)

now need to do:

manager.getReference(manager.getBeans(clazz).iterator().next(),clazz);

(plus checking that the set contains only one element and throwing an exception if not.)

Is that really true? Is there no more direct way to obtain this in the SPI? It seems like a pretty common case. If not, I can have a utility method to do the above in the core, as many things don't cast to ManagerImpl, so I'd rather not put it there.
