/**
 * Service which acts as a registry for named strategy implementations.
 * 
 * Strategies are more open ended than services, though a strategy managed here might very well also be a service.  The
 * strategy is any interface that has multiple, (possibly short) named implementations.
 * 

 * StrategySelector manages resolution of particular implementation by (possibly short) name via the
 * {@link #selectStrategyImplementor} method, which is the main contract here.  As indicated in the docs of that
 * method the given name might be either a short registered name or the implementation FQN.  As an example, consider
 * resolving the {@link org.hibernate.resource.transaction.spi.TransactionCoordinatorBuilder} implementation to use.  To use the
 * JDBC-based TransactionCoordinatorBuilder the passed name might be either {@code "jdbc"} or
 * {@code "org.hibernate.resource.transaction.backend.jdbc.internal.JdbcResourceLocalTransactionCoordinatorBuilderImpl"} (which is the FQN).
 * 

 * Strategy implementations can be managed by {@link #registerStrategyImplementor} and
 * {@link #unRegisterStrategyImplementor}.  Originally designed to help the OSGi use case, though no longer used there.
 * 

 * The service also exposes a general typing API via {@link #resolveStrategy} and {@link #resolveDefaultableStrategy}
 * which accept implementation references rather than implementation names, allowing for a multitude of interpretations
 * of said "implementation reference".  See the docs for {@link #resolveDefaultableStrategy} for details.
