Hi,
I've done the first iteration of this (checked in - r5173). It doesn't yet separate out the initialisation, I'll do that next.
One problem is that I can't get the following line to compile:
weld.event().select(CustomEvent.class).fire(new CustomEvent());
I get:
Compilation failure
org/jboss/weld/environment/se/test/WeldMainTest.java:[70,18] cannot find symbol
symbol : method select(java.lang.Class<org.jboss.weld.environment.se.test.beans.CustomEvent>)
location: interface javax.enterprise.inject.Instance<javax.enterprise.event.Event>
I think the problem is that my CustomEvent doesn't implement or extend Event. I don't think it has to though (am I mistaken?). Anyone know what I'm missing?
Cheers,

Yes, this seems sensible to me, as it will allow us to provide flexibility with the configuration in the future.
Emmanuel, master of fluent APIs, has made an important point that we should keep in mind when designing a sequential call chain. Think twice before returning "this" and think if there is a more specific type that you can return that narrows the options based on where you are in the sequence. That way, you prevent being able to invoke methods out of sequence.
You can now prevent:
new Weld().event()
Returning a more specific type is also self documenting.
