/**
* Details about an artifact selection in the context of a dependency substitution.
*
* Artifact selections are handy as a migration path from the Maven or Ivy ecosystem,
* where different "variants" are actually represented as different artifacts, with
* specific (type, extension, classifier) sub-coordinates, in addition to the GAV
* (group, artifact, version) coordinates.
*
* It is preferable to use component metadata rules to properly describe the variants
* of a module, so this variant selector should only be used when defining such rules
* is not possible or too complex for the use case.
