[cdi-dev] Dynamic 'TypeLiteral' with ParameterizedType, such as Guice

[Jozef Hartinger]

This would be useful not only for bean lookup but also for dispatching 
parameterized events. The only concern is type safety which 
unfortunately cannot be guaranteed (same as in the Guice case). Still, I 
find this useful. Please file a new CDI feature request at 
http://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI
