add support for 'optional' beans
--------------------------------

                 Key: CDI-35
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-35
             Project: CDI Specification Issues
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Mark Struberg

sometimes it's neat to mark a bean as @Optional depending if a specified class can get loaded or not.

This is a simple way to implement deployment specific functionality. 

An example would be a BvalSupportBean which only should become active if the JSR-303 bean validation API can be found on the classpath.
