Dynamic method calling isn't evil. Essentially, the framework
framework defaults a dynamic method call to execute, when no other is
specified. Wildcards utilize dynamic method calling too.

The problem is how the original dynamic method calling is
*implemented*. The original implementation doesn't create a virtual
mapping, as do wildcards and the plugin. Exception code detects the
bang, parses it out, and calls the other method -- behind the back of
the rest of the framework. It was not implemented as a first-class
feature. It's closer to a prototype feature that we never took to the
next level.

I'll look at the ClassPathProvider to see if we can use that to
finally fix the original she-bang implementation.
