I'm not sure it's worth specification. As Matej mentioned the 
ProcessSyntheticBean event should do the trick.

 From the impl point of view, it would be easier to mark the 
"discovered" beans, ie. implement some marker interface - for synthetic 
beans the container would have to wrap the provided Bean impls.

Something like Weld Probe [1], cdeye [2] or VisualEE [3]?
