/**
 * Annotation that can be used on any class or method directly or indirectly annotated with {@link Component}.
 * to indicate that a component is to be eagerly initialized.
 *
 * By default, Azkarra lazily instantiates and configures a component when it is first requested.
 * Generally, this is the behavior desired by users because the contextual configuration of a
 * component cannot be resolved at context startup.
