+ * must be specified.
+ *
+ * For consistency and saftey in the development cycle, such resolution succeeds
+ * if and only if there is one object within the container that implements the
+ * interface.  If multiple objects implement the interface, automatic resolution
+ * would be ambiguous, and is therefore not performed.  In such cases, the exact
+ * object to resolve can be explicitly declared in configuration.
