[cdi-dev] AnnotatedTypeConfigurator limitation

[Martin Kouba]

Well, I thought the EG already agreed that the purpose of the 
configurator API is not to cover all possible use cases, but the most 
common ones. And the list of use cases below seems more like a list of 
corner cases.

Anyway, if the EG decides to support this, I think we could either go 
with 1) or 3) *.

*
BeanManager.getAnnotatedTypeBuilder() that returns a new builder 
wrapping a configurator instance.
