/**
 * The mode is used to specify strictness level, either {@link #STRICT}
 * or {@link #LENIENT}, an idea borrowed from the Mockito library.
 *
 * In strict mode, which is enabled by default, unused selectors will trigger
 * the {@link UnusedSelectorException}. The error notifies the user of which
 * selectors are redundant, with the goal of keeping tests clean and concise.
 *
 * Strict mode can be disabled as follows:
 *
 * 

 *   per object, {@link InstancioApi#lenient()} method
 *   via {@link Settings}, by setting {@link Keys#MODE} to {@link #LENIENT}
 *   or globally using {@code instancio.properties}
