/**
* Extension of the {@link BeanFactory} interface to be implemented by bean factories
* that can enumerate all their bean instances, rather than attempting bean lookup
* by name one by one as requested by clients. BeanFactory implementations that
* preload all their bean definitions (such as XML-based factories) may implement
* this interface.
*
* If this is a {@link HierarchicalBeanFactory}, the return values will not
* take any BeanFactory hierarchy into account, but will relate only to the beans
* defined in the current factory. Use the {@link BeanFactoryUtils} helper class
* to consider beans in ancestor factories too.
*
*
The methods in this interface will just respect bean definitions of this factory.
* They will ignore any singleton beans that have been registered by other means like
* {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableBeanFactory}'s
* {@code registerSingleton} method, with the exception of
* {@code getBeanNamesOfType} and {@code getBeansOfType} which will check
* such manually registered singletons too. Of course, BeanFactory's {@code getBean}
* does allow transparent access to such special beans as well. However, in typical
* scenarios, all beans will be defined by external bean definitions anyway, so most
* applications don't need to worry about this differentiation.
*
*
NOTE: With the exception of {@code getBeanDefinitionCount}
* and {@code containsBeanDefinition}, the methods in this interface
* are not designed for frequent invocation. Implementations may be slow.
