Yes, that's the question.

It doesn't explicitly say it's about class-based beans only, so it can be
perceived as applying to custom beans as well. Then I'd understand the "as
defined in Chapter 2" from section 11.1 as "it's not required to explicitly
return @Any".

Right, some clarification would be nice. In my particular case I'll just
add a literal for @Any, but it's easy to forget to do so when writing a PE,
so it might be useful to require a CDI implementation to automatically add
that qualifier for custom beans if missing.
