Martin Kouba commented on CDI-733:
----------------------------------

It should use both. The problem with {{java.lang.reflect.Type}} param is type safety which cannot be guaranteed. FYI Weld API already allows to use {{Type}} parameter for {{Event<Object>}}: https://github.com/weld/api/blob/3.0.SP4/weld/src/main/java/org/jboss/weld/events/WeldEvent.java#L32-L47

> Goal is to enable a bit more meta programming and in particular instantiation of custom parameterized type of events, currently it requires to go through the bean manager whereas the event would be a natural place to resolve an event.
