[weld-dev] Adding Classes at Run-time

I have an odd question.  I have a situation where I'm manually opening a 
JAR and adding its classes to the ClassLoader.  What I'd like to be able 
to do is have Weld scan these classes for any relevant annotations and 
take the proper actions, just as if the JARs were in the classpath when 
the application started.  I've been staring at the JavaDocs (build 
locally, btw, as I can't find them on the web :| ) but I don't see any 
way to request that Weld inspect a given class.  Is it there and I'm 
missing it?  Am I going to have cobble together that functionality?  Am 
I asking for something that can't be done (right now)?  Any nudges in 
the right direction would be much appreciated. :)
