[cdi-dev] interceptor that return void, unclear in 1.0 specification, needs clarification in 1.1

[Jaikiran Pai]

The interceptors spec says this about @AroundInvoke methods on interceptors:

<quote>
Around-invoke methods have the following signature:

Object <METHOD>(InvocationContext) throws Exception

</quote>

By the way, if Weld is failing silently, then I guess it needs to be 
improved to throw an explicit error.
