Description

there are a number of DSL methods in the base class which can be kinda used anywhere - which can lead to confusion... e.g.

http://www.nabble.com/Non-registry-beans-td20088181s22882.html

as part of 2.0.0 we should try zap most of the public methods which don't make much sense - so we encourage folks to use the context based methods.

e.g. rather than

filter(someStaticMethod).to()

we should prefer

filter().xpath("..".to()

i.e. using filter(). in an IDE will show a better completion list than allowing any static method import
