Just to circle back to this (because my memory is so short).. What did we ever decide about this, especially in regards to the *how*?
As and example, lets look at Search. Search wraps Session in a FullTextSession. Search would register some handler with the SessionFactory that says it knows how to handle Session.as( FullTextSession.class ) calls. But what exactly is this handler going to do? Unless Search maintains some global Session instance -> FullTextSession instance... Or are you thinking the registration happens per-Session?
