Description

Currently there are 2 API to lookup events programmatically from the bean manager - I ignore the derivative like Instance:

1. bm.getEvent().select(...)
2. bm.getReference())

I can envision 2 is not an option (even if it should be implementable) since there is 1 but 1 is not enabled because it only support Class or TypeLiteral which are two static types so Type should be added to event#select to enable this use case.

There is no blocker in main implementations AFAIK so can be a quick win for everyone.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Event.select(...) API and the BeanManager lookup methods described in the issue, focusing on the existing Class and TypeLiteral signatures. Determine how a Type-based lookup should fit the CDI API and specification. Done means the programmatic event lookup use case is supported without relying on the derivative Instance API.
