/**
 * Provides a factory that combines the caller's arguments with injector-supplied values to
 * construct objects.
 *
 * <h3>Defining a factory</h3>
 * Create an interface whose methods return the constructed type, or any of its supertypes. The
 * method's parameters are the arguments required to build the constructed type.
 *
 * <pre>public interface PaymentFactory {
 *   Payment create(Date startDate, Money amount);
 * }</pre>
 *
 * You can name your factory methods whatever you like, such as <i>create</i>, <i>createPayment</i>
 * or <i>newPayment</i>.
 *
 * <h3>Creating a type that accepts factory parameters</h3>
 * {@code constructedType} is a concrete class with an {@literal @}{@link com.google.inject.Inject
 * Inject}-annotated constructor. In addition to injector-supplied parameters, the constructor
 * should have parameters that match each of the factory method's parameters. Each factory-supplied
 * parameter requires an {@literal @}{@link Assisted} annotation. This serves to document that the
 * parameter is not bound by your application's modules.
 *
 * <pre>public class RealPayment implements Payment {
 *   {@literal @}Inject
 *   public RealPayment(
 *      CreditService creditService,
 *      AuthService authService,
 *      <strong>{@literal @}Assisted Date startDate</strong>,
 *      <strong>{@literal @}Assisted Money amount</strong>) {
 *     ...
 *   }
 * }</pre>
 * 
 * <h3>Multiple factory methods for the same type</h3>
 * If the factory contains many methods that return the same type, you can create multiple
 * constructors in your concrete class, each constructor marked with with
 * {@literal @}{@link AssistedInject}, in order to match the different parameters types of the
 * factory methods. 
 * 
 * <pre>public interface PaymentFactory {
 *    Payment create(Date startDate, Money amount);
 *    Payment createWithoutDate(Money amount);
 * }
 * 
 * public class RealPayment implements Payment {
 *  {@literal @}AssistedInject
 *   public RealPayment(
 *      CreditService creditService,
 *      AuthService authService,
 *     <strong>{@literal @}Assisted Date startDate</strong>,
 *     <strong>{@literal @}Assisted Money amount</strong>) {
 *     ...
 *   }
 *   
 *  {@literal @}AssistedInject
 *   public RealPayment(
 *      CreditService creditService,
 *      AuthService authService,
 *     <strong>{@literal @}Assisted Money amount</strong>) {
 *     ...
 *   }   
 * }</pre> 
 *
 * <h3>Configuring simple factories</h3>
 * In your {@link Module module}, install a {@code FactoryModuleBuilder} that creates the
 * factory:
 *
 * <pre>install(new FactoryModuleBuilder()
 *     .implement(Payment.class, RealPayment.class)
 *     .build(PaymentFactory.class);</pre>
 *
 * As a side-effect of this binding, Guice will inject the factory to initialize it for use. The
 * factory cannot be used until the injector has been initialized.
 *
 * <h3>Using the factory</h3>
 * Inject your factory into your application classes. When you use the factory, your arguments
 * will be combined with values from the injector to construct an instance.
 *
 * <pre>public class PaymentAction {
 *   {@literal @}Inject private PaymentFactory paymentFactory;
 *
 *   public void doPayment(Money amount) {
 *     Payment payment = paymentFactory.create(new Date(), amount);
 *     payment.apply();
 *   }
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <h3>Making parameter types distinct</h3>
 * The types of the factory method's parameters must be distinct. To use multiple parameters of
 * the same type, use a named {@literal @}{@link Assisted} annotation to disambiguate the
 * parameters. The names must be applied to the factory method's parameters:
 *
 * <pre>public interface PaymentFactory {
 *   Payment create(
 *       <strong>{@literal @}Assisted("startDate")</strong> Date startDate,
 *       <strong>{@literal @}Assisted("dueDate")</strong> Date dueDate,
 *       Money amount);
 * } </pre>
 *
 * ...and to the concrete type's constructor parameters:
 *
 * <pre>public class RealPayment implements Payment {
 *   {@literal @}Inject
 *   public RealPayment(
 *      CreditService creditService,
 *      AuthService authService,
 *      <strong>{@literal @}Assisted("startDate")</strong> Date startDate,
 *      <strong>{@literal @}Assisted("dueDate")</strong> Date dueDate,
 *      <strong>{@literal @}Assisted</strong> Money amount) {
 *     ...
 *   }
 * }</pre>
 *
 * <h3>Values are created by Guice</h3>
 * Returned factories use child injectors to create values. The values are eligible for method
 * interception. In addition, {@literal @}{@literal Inject} members will be injected before they are
 * returned.
 *
 * <h3>More configuration options</h3>
 * In addition to simply specifying an implementation class for any returned type, factories' return
 * values can be automatic or can be configured to use annotations:
 * <p/>
 * If you just want to return the types specified in the factory, do not configure any
 * implementations:
 *
 * <pre>public interface FruitFactory {
 *   Apple getApple(Color color);
 * }
 * ...
 * protected void configure() {
 *   install(new FactoryModuleBuilder().build(FruitFactory.class));
 * }</pre>
 *
 * Note that any type returned by the factory in this manner needs to be an implementation class.
 * <p/>
 * To return two different implementations for the same interface from your factory, use binding
 * annotations on your return types:
 *
 * <pre>interface CarFactory {
 *   {@literal @}Named("fast") Car getFastCar(Color color);
 *   {@literal @}Named("clean") Car getCleanCar(Color color);
 * }
 * ...
 * protected void configure() {
 *   install(new FactoryModuleBuilder()
 *       .implement(Car.class, Names.named("fast"), Porsche.class)
 *       .implement(Car.class, Names.named("clean"), Prius.class)
 *       .build(CarFactory.class));
 * }</pre>
 * 
 * <h3>Implementation limitations</h3>
 * As a limitation of the implementation, it is prohibited to declare a factory method that
 * accepts a {@code Provider} as one of its arguments.
