Which info object are you referring to? The only information I could see 
for utility registration is a tuple, not an object. This is used to 
build the UtilityRegistration object when querying registration 
information, and I added a factory method there.

Why would a component need to know how it was created? I can envision 
that a component may very well have an attribute named factory for 
something else entirely.
