Often we are faced of having external projects as class hierarchies
instead of interfaces. It is useful to be able to extend some of these
with Qi4j features.

We discussed this a bit. Can't recall what the conclusion was... I
think we said that it is possible to override newInstance() in the
Frgament Classloader to intercept the 'new' keyword and potentially
support object graphs.

Isn't that the question above?

Associations are kind of out of the question, unless providing your
own implementation, as the AssociationMixin sits on the
EntityComposite.
Properties; Define them in an interface and use @This.
public interface AdditionalState {
Property<String> category();
}
public class MyFunkyExtension extends SomeCoolProjectClass
{
@This private AdditionalState moreState;
}
