Yeah, this is used a lot in the TCK, and maybe a bit in addons which enable injection in types WB doesn't know about (?), but I don't think users will hit it.

Correct, users really should hit this. It's used heavily in tests, for instance in AbstractWebBeans tests.

Hmm, yes you might well want to use this in a standalone, unit test, environment as an entry point.

It is also used when you are entering from outside the WB environment. You get a handle to manager and lookup the type that gives you entry. For instance, you might look up the Identity component and then invoke some method on it which may trigger a chain of WB injections once "inside".

Yes, this is addon frameworks, not end users.
