 * The default qualifier type.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * If a bean does not explicitly declare a qualifier other than {@link javax.inject.Named @Named}, the bean has the
 * qualifier @Default.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * If an injection point declares no qualifier, the injection point has exactly one qualifier, the default qualifier
 * @Default.

 * The following are equivalent:
 * 
 * 
 *  * @ConversationScoped
 * public class Order {

 *     private User customer;
 * 
 *     @Inject
 *     public void init(@Selected Product product, User customer) {
