Hi Loïc,

+1 for Annotation based DIC setup. :) But of course it can't be a runtime
thing, so it will be a Dumper's job to address these annotations. Let me
know if am wrong.

Can you give some elaboration on the idea of overloading annotation config
in a config file?

For my experience, I usually write unit tests without having container
involved (to eliminate the bootstrap/teardown of contexts), unless the
dependency has grown too big to be handled in a test class. But so far, I
haven't faced the situation to overload configurations (be it annotated or
not), because test class usually holds its own context/scope/definition,
unless you are speaking about shared context happens usually in functional
tests, for that case, it can be overcome by separating your definition files
or include/exclude filters in reading annotated classes.

Let me know if I am getting you right.
