I can see users wanting to add support for different formats in
different resource classes. i.e.

@Path("/root")
@Produces("application/xml")
public class MyRootXmlSupport {}

@Path("/root")
@Produces("application/json")
public class MyJsonSupport {}


I can also see the following:

@Path("/{options : .*}")
public class HandleOptionsGenerically
{
    @OPTIONS
    public Response handleOptions() {...}
}


BTW, I didn't even know this restriction existed and is something we
already do by default in resteasy. I don't see why it is a big deal to
support/allow.
