Discover entry-points via codegen #13

Open benjamin-bader opened 11 years ago

Pros:

remove stupid Injects = new[] { typeof(Foo) } boilerplate

Cons:

Inheritance complicates this
Container.Add complicates this
- At some point, we have to determine just what modules are being added
- The common pattern of base.OnCreate { Container.Add(GetModules()).Inject(this, GetType()); } seems hard to analyze reliably
Generics? Ugh

This needs some deep thought. The API would be so much more usable, but only if codegen actually works beyond the 80% case. For example, how to support this;

public T Get<T>()
{
    return this.Container.Get<T>();
}

Naively, we could just search the whole world for calls to Get, and look at their generic arguments. And what if those arguments are themselves generic? How deeply should we look?
