Configuration validation. verify() ?

@darscan @creynders and everyone still alive,

what do you think about some verification API?

Case: I want to ensure my configuration is correct (no missing unmapped injections), in other words that all my dependencies tree can be successfully resolved. In my test I would get my configured injector (e.g. get actual configured context) and call verify() (for instance) on them.
I would expect injector (and it's parent injectors) to run through all mappings (Injector#_mappings) and call corresponding getInstance().

What do you think? I would be glad to implement it and make PR if I know it would be accepted.

Wow! That thing would be really cool. Especially in big projects when you are waiting like FOREVER while maven is building and building and building and still building and then you are getting stupid mapping RTE.

@taokakao you would still need to build test though, but that might be faster yeah, depending on how you do it.

@fljot sounds really cool. @darscan what do you think?
