Description

I can see 2 things of interest:

  • @Qualifier - currently implemented with Tagging. I find the JSR meta-annotation to be less intrusive than the Tagging mechanic. That alone has an added value IMO.
  • Provider - currently implemented with call-by-name.

Although these features wouldn't be immensely useful as they already have scala-ish equivalents, they could be useful when integrating with java libraries.

What do you think? Would it be useful? doable?

Start by reviewing the existing Tagging mechanism and the call-by-name behavior referenced in the issue. Compare those integration points with JSR-330’s @Qualifier and Provider semantics, then document the required compatibility behavior and tests before implementation.
