* in almost all cases when using {@code @ComponentScan}, default annotation config
* processing (e.g. processing {@code @Autowired} and friends) is assumed. Furthermore,
* when using {@link AnnotationConfigApplicationContext}, annotation config processors are
* always registered, meaning that any attempt to disable them at the
* {@code @ComponentScan} level would be ignored.
*
* See @{@link Configuration} Javadoc for usage examples.
