> Another way to look  at this is to allow configuration of IdentifierGeneratorFactory.
> Either allow explicit registration under a short name in config:
> <identifier-generator name="sequence-style" class="org.hibernate.id.enhanced.SequenceStyleGenerator"/>
> or via an explicit contract:
> public interface Registerable {
>     public String getRegistrationName();
> }
> public class SequenceStyleGenerator implements IdentifierGenerator, Registerable {
>     ...
>     public String getRegistrationName() {
>         return "sequence-style";
>     }
> }
> The second, while certainly more verbose, can be used applied to other situations where we want to allow registration moving forward (types, property-accessor, etc).
