> Problem:
> The current beanProcessor is fairly restricted passing only the current Bean, 
> and it's beanName, expecting the implementation to be able to do any 
> 'processing' or substitution based only on that information. 
> While this works well for simple bean wrappers, it's easy to see that some 
> categories of BeanProcessor will struggle with such limited information. 
> Eg, a processor may wish to dynamically replace the bean, to do so, it may 
> require infomation from the original BeanMetadata. Additionally, a processor 
> may need to return a wrapper, that when invoked obtains a bean dynamically. 
> Proposal:
> Pass the bean metadata, and a 'BeanCreator' to the BeanProcessor, enabling 
> the processor to instantiate a new Bean when required.
> This gets slightly more complex when there is more than one BeanProcessor 
> operating, as each processor must still obtain a Bean that went through the 
> same chain of Processors that it's orignal bean did. 
> Eg. with 3 processors. 
> A gets the fresh bean, and a BeanCreator for fresh beans
> B gets A's returned bean, and a BeanCreator that returns beans passed through 
> A.
> C gets B's returned bean, and a BeanCreator that returns beans passed through 
> A, then B.
