 * Marker interface that claims that this class implements an SPI interface that
 * is resolved via the {@link java.util.ServiceLoader}. This is mainly for
 * checking that this class must be public and requires a public no-argument
 * constructor and that no references from any other Java source file may be
 * present. If this annotation is used, it implies that the semantics of
 * {@link UsedViaReflection} also apply.
