/**
 * Marker annotation placed on a service builder method to indicate that the service should be
 * eagerly loaded: realized as if a service method had been invoked. Service realization invokes the
 * service builder method and applys any decorators to the service.
 * 
 * This annotation may also be placed directly on a service implementation class, when using
 * autobuilding via the {@link ServiceBinder}.
