For me it's more an issue the fact that "IWindsorContainer" and
"Component.For" are in different namespaces.
When I'm typing
container.Register(Co
at this moment I didn't get completition because Component requires a
namespace to declare. I have to type "Component." then to agree with R# to
import required namespace.
Your proposal definitely will make API more discoverable. Will it also avoid
including a namespace for "Component"?
