Ben Chambers commented on BEAM-324:
-----------------------------------
I think the specific work would be using the "infer TypeDescriptor from an
instance" in other places (such as DoFn's, etc.)
I think it is a non-API change, so likely OK to leave as a wish list item.
> Improve TypeDescriptor inference of DoFn's created inside a generic PTransform

> introduced the ability to infer a {{TypeDescriptor}} from an object created
> inside a concrete instance of a {{PTransform}} and used it to simplify
> {{SimpleFunction}} usage.
> We should probably look at using the same mechanism elsewhere, such as when
> inferring the output type of a {{ParDo}}.
