Make special note in the spec about @Named beans (via a stereotype) cannot be selected with Instance.select()
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CDI-34
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-34
             Project: CDI Specification Issues
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Shane Bryzak
            Priority: Minor


For example, say we have the following bean:

public @Model class Foo implements IFoo { }

And we have the following injection point within another bean:

  @Inject Instance<Foo> fooInstance;

It is not possible to select Foo via name using the Instance:

  // This results in an UnsatisfiedDependencyException
  Foo foo = fooInstance.select(new NamedLiteral("foo")).get();

Instead, Foo must be annotated directly with the @Named annotation itself:

/*
 * This Foo can be selected by name
 */
public @Named @RequestScoped Foo implements IFoo { }

This special case might be worthwhile mentioning in the next revision of the spec.
