Because named registrations do not carry type information it is not 
possible to create decorators over open generic types. Similarly types like 
Owned<T>, Nullable<T>, Lazy<T> and IEnumerable<T> can only be implemented 
automatically in IRegistrationSource for typed services.

By packaging type information in NamedService, it will be possible to 
support these features for named as well as typed services.

Added test case in r571 demonstrating how this can be done using ResolvedParameter for 
a subset of scenarios in Autofac 1.4.

Needs more work in order to support named registrations, but the decorator chain 
functionality is there.

Reducing priority and renaming.
