Description
Currently, NarrowingBeanBuilder supports reading only from AnnotatedType. However, if you are trying to create a specialized producer method based on information at an injection point, you need to be able to read from the more general Annotated type.
In fact, the NarrowingBeanBuilder is currently not using any information from AnnotatedType that isn't provide by Annotated, so it's definition worth making more general.

As I came to understand NarrowingBeanBuilder better, I found I didn't need this feature. The proper pattern is to obtain the type at the injection point, then use BeanManager to create an annotated type. You then use that return value as the AnnotatedType to read from. For now, I'm rejecting until I encounter a case where I really do need it.

Shoot, I need this for the Seam Servlet release. For now I've just copied the class into the Seam Servlet impl and modified it.
