/**
* Provides annotations for dependency injection. Enables portable objects but
* leaves external dependency configuration up to <i>the injector</i>
* implementation. For the purposes of this specification, the injector is
* anything that injects objects. Injector implementations can take many
* forms. An injector could rely on code generation or reflection. An injector
* could configure itself using XML, annotations, a DSL (domain-specific
* language), or even plain Java code. A "container", for some definition, can
* be an injector, but this specification aims to minimize restrictions on
* injector implementations. For example, an injector that uses compile time
* code generation may not even have its own run time representation. Other
* injectors may not be able to generate code at all, neither at compile nor
* run time.
