[picocontainer-dev] child container API

Currently I find the child API rather confusing. There are too many ways
to create a child container:

pico.makeChildContainer()

new PicoBuilder(parent)

pico.addChildContainer

new DefaultPicoContainer(parent)

 

I'm not totally sure what the purpose of pico.addChildContainer is. It
doesn't set the parent on the child container and this could lead to an
incoherent state.

And now that there is the picobuilder, why not restrict the creation of
child containers to it?
