You beat me to it, I was going to bring up Spring's @Scope annotation.

I guess you are implicitly saying we can't use it literally the way
Spring wants to because we don't want to do component scanning, etc?  Or
else we know that that doesn't combine with XML-declared beans?

If so: Perhaps we could still make use of a BeanFactoryPostProcessor to
implement the @Scope annotation in a different way than
component-scanning, by using it to directly set the scope on the bean
definition.  I haven't tried this, so don't know if works.
