Shorthand for Proxy with LazyInitTargetSource?

[ejain]

The following snippet appears to come up often -- I was wondering if there is a more compact representation that makes use of the aop (or another) namespace?

<bean id="foo" class="...">
  ...
</bean>

<bean id="fooProxy" class="org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyFactoryBean">
  <property name="targetSource">
    <bean class="org.springframework.aop.target.LazyInitTargetSource">
        <property name="targetBeanName">
          <idref local="foo"/>
        </property>
    </bean>
  </property>
</bean>

I aggree. This would be a welcomed addition. Also, it would be nice if this could work with @Configurable.
