/**
* An annotation indicating that a bean can be loaded into the Bootstrap Context. The Bootstrap Context is a
* small {@link io.micronaut.context.ApplicationContext} instance that is loaded in order to support reading
* distributed configuration.
*
* Most beans are not required in this context and only a subset may be needed in order to perform the task of
* reading distributed configuration. Hence any bean that wishes to be loaded into the context must express that they can be loaded using this annotation.
*
* Most developers generally don't have to interact with this annotation and it is generally only used when building a new distributed configuration implementation.
