* 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.
