Though I do appreciate the hard work that went into this feature I fail to see a need for it. Maybe it's just me but I always felt that constructor-based dependency injection was so very ... clumsy. It simply doesn't feel right, putting so much logic into a mere constructor. But then again I have never been a fan of PicoContainer. No offence intended, but I for one will stick with the classic Avalon way.
