I'd ask people to think about this approach without considering 
backwards compatibility issues first. Especially given the goal "making 
component lookup disappear into the language" makes me think just all 
making it calling an interface would be the most elegant approach.

So imagining we didn't have to worry about backwards compatibility, 
would you still propose that API, making a difference between adapter 
and utility lookup? What's the motivation? And would you deprecate plain 
adapter calls and prefer 'adapt' all the time?

So as to prevent bikeshedding the API too much, I'm going to take your 
+0.5 anyway. :)
