OK, so added support for that. Go to:

     http://svn.codehaus.org/picocontainer/java/sandbox/baby-steps/ 
pico2/container/src/test/org/picocontainer/defaults/ 
DefaultPicoContainerTestCase.java

And search for "Horse" in page.

You'll see three tests that show a persistent change of the  
container's characteristic, and two tests that show a transient  
modification to the container's characteristics.

The last two are the new ones. Its a little different to what I  
outlined earlier:

         MutablePicoContainer container = new DefaultPicoContainer();
         container.as(SDI).addComponent(SdiComponent.class);
         container.as(SDI).addComponent(AnotherSdiComponent.class);
         container.addComponent(CdiComponent.class);

SDI is used in the test as it deviates from the Pico norm of CDI.   
Refer the workings of AnyInjectionComponentAdapterFactory.

Peter and I debated 'with' and 'as' in the pub as method names.  The  
two could end up synonymous, or we could standardize of phrasing:

as -

   SINGLETON
   HIDDEN
   SWAPPABLE

with -

   SINGLETON
   HIDDEN_IMPLEMENTATION
   SWAPPABLE_IMPLEMENTATION

Thoughts?
