/**
* Specify whether {@link Bean @Bean} methods should get proxied in order to enforce
* bean lifecycle behavior, e.g. to return shared singleton bean instances even in
* case of direct {@code @Bean} method calls in user code. This feature requires
* method interception, implemented through a runtime-generated CGLIB subclass which
* comes with limitations such as the configuration class and its methods not being
* allowed to declare {@code final}.
*
* The default is {@code true}, allowing for 'inter-bean references' within the
* configuration class as well as for external calls to this configuration's
* {@code @Bean} methods, e.g. from another configuration class. If this is not needed
* since each of this particular configuration's {@code @Bean} methods is
* self-contained and designed as a plain factory method for container use, switch
* this flag to {@code false} in order to avoid CGLIB subclass processing.
*
* Turning off bean method interception effectively processes {@code @Bean} methods
* individually like when declared on non-{@code @Configuration} classes, a.k.a.
* "@Bean Lite Mode" (see {@link Bean @Bean's javadoc}). It is therefore behaviorally
* equivalent to removing the {@code @Configuration} stereotype.
* @return whether to proxy {@code @Bean} methods
