/**
 * Annotates an abstract class or interface used to create an instance of a type via an {@link
 * AssistedInject} constructor.
 *
 * An {@link AssistedFactory}-annotated type must obey the following constraints:
 *
 * 

 *   The type must be an abstract class or interface,
 *   
The type must contain exactly one abstract, non-default method whose
 *       
 *         return type must exactly match the type of an assisted injection type, and
 *         
parameters must match the exact list of {@link Assisted} parameters in the assisted
 *             injection type's constructor (and in the same order).
 *       
 * 
 *
 * See {@link AssistedInject}
