Fine by me. Especially since that at some stage we will need to pass
some kind of settings before booting.

Stick the following two methods on the object returned by initialize():

     Instance<Object> instance();
     Instance<Event> event();

So I can do:

   Weld weld = new Weld().initialize();
   weld.instance().select(Foo.class).get()
   weld.event().select(Bar.class).fire( new Bar() );
   weld.shutdown();

Or whatever.
