 * <p>
 * <b>**WARNING**</b> This class is <b>NOT</b> a clever way to get the
 * BeanManager, and should be <b>avoided at all costs</b>. If you need a handle
 * to the {@link BeanManager} you should probably register an {@link Extension}
 * instead of using this class; have you tried using @{@link Inject}?
