/**
 * The advanced entry point to the Guice framework. Creates {@link Injector}s from
 * {@link Module}s, allowing many options to be configured for the Injector.
 *
 * <p>Guice supports a model of development that draws clear boundaries between
 * APIs, Implementations of these APIs, Modules which configure these
 * implementations, and finally Applications which consist of a collection of
 * Modules. It is the Application, which typically defines your {@code main()}
 * method, that bootstraps the Guice Injector using the {@code Guice} class, as
 * in this example:
 * <pre>
 *     public class FooApplication {
 *       public static void main(String[] args) {
 *         Injector injector = new InjectorBuilder().
 *             .stage(Stage.PRODUCTION)
 *             . . . 
 *             .addModules(
 *                new ModuleA(),
 *                new ModuleB(),
 *                . . .
 *                new FooApplicationFlagsModule(args)
 *             )
 *             .build();
 *         );
 *
 *         // Now just bootstrap the application and you're done
 *         FooStarter starter = injector.getInstance(FooStarter.class);
 *         starter.runApplication();
 *       }
 *     }
 * </pre>
