/**
* Strategy interface used by a {@link ConfigurableBeanFactory},
* representing a target scope to hold bean instances in.
* This allows for extending the BeanFactory's standard scopes
* {@link ConfigurableBeanFactory#SCOPE_SINGLETON "singleton"} and
* {@link ConfigurableBeanFactory#SCOPE_PROTOTYPE "prototype"}
* with custom further scopes, registered for a
* {@link ConfigurableBeanFactory#registerScope(String, Scope) specific key}.
*
* {@link org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext} implementations
* such as a {@link org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext}
* may register additional standard scopes specific to their environment,
* e.g. {@link org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext#SCOPE_REQUEST "request"}
* and {@link org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext#SCOPE_SESSION "session"},
* based on this Scope SPI.
*
*
Even if its primary use is for extended scopes in a web environment,
* this SPI is completely generic: It provides the ability to get and put
* objects from any underlying storage mechanism, such as an HTTP session
* or a custom conversation mechanism. The name passed into this class's
* {@code get} and {@code remove} methods will identify the
* target object in the current scope.
*
*
{@code Scope} implementations are expected to be thread-safe.
* One {@code Scope} instance can be used with multiple bean factories
* at the same time, if desired (unless it explicitly wants to be aware of
* the containing BeanFactory), with any number of threads accessing
* the {@code Scope} concurrently from any number of factories.

* (DisposableBean, destroy-method, DestructionAwareBeanPostProcessor).
* Implementations should do their best to execute a given callback
* at the appropriate time. If such a callback is not supported by the

Note that 'destruction' refers to to automatic destruction of

* @param callback the destruction callback to be executed.
* Note that the passed-in Runnable will never throw an exception,
