Thanks for your input. I do get what you're saying, the Context becomes a sensible container for a bunch of relevant services.

I'd definitely agree with the intent of this.

Yep, compile time wins over vs runtime checking. My use of IoC is for explicit wiring. I have little need or desire for autowiring, for the exact reasons you say.

This 'problem' has already been solved quite well I think. Previously I've looked at similar 'Context' indirection, but I think IoC containers such as Spring have now enabled much better solutions.
