Spec doesn't mention this method which could be confusing e.g with following (recently added) rule:

If a BeanConfigurator has no scope specified via the BeanConfigurator.scope() method, the Default Scope rules apply.

When you use this read method then it makes sense to copy scope from original AnnotatedType (current Weld behaviour) so I would reword this e.g to:

If a BeanConfigurator has no scope specified via the BeanConfigurator.scope() method or BeanConfigurator is not initialized with one of its read methods, the Default Scope rules apply.
