 * Gives access to things that are being currently rebinding. This is used during a

 * instances even before they are available through 
 * {@code managementContext.getEntityManager().getEnties()}.
 * 
 * Users are not expected to implement this class. It is for use by {@link Rebindable} 
 * instances, and will generally be created by the {@link RebindManager}.
