This even works like you would expect by merging ComponentManager and
ComponentSelector into one interface. The last time I proposed this I

This provides the ultimate simplicity for the simple cases (i.e. using
a string for a hint), and the power for the complex cases (i.e. multidimensional
lookup with a Map).
