[seam-dev] Next steps

[Gavin King]

It's *definitely* something we want, but it's quite a lot of work to
implement everything that was defined in the older versions of 299
(and some of that should change slightly, given the slightly different
injection syntax that we now use).

If you want to take on this job, that's great, go for it!

But I want us to focus initially on lower-hanging fruit. Stuff that
adds a lot of value w/o having to write a lot of code :-)
