[picocontainer-dev] Preferring Parameter names.....

.. OK I started this 10 days ago before Konstantin's most recent  
changes, but then I went to new york and lost a week.

What if parameter names were not just indicated with  
Characteristics.USE_NAMES ?

What if there was a BehaviorFactory that suggested that the use of  
parameter names was a for all components that the container contains..


Is it useful ?   It does not quite work for now (bug), but before I  
complete and commit, I would like to take the time to gather the  
thoughts of others.

One bug is related to paranmer - it has a NPE for attempts to access  
parameter names for classes in the system classloader.
