* <p>Constructors annotated with {@code @AssistedInject} indicate that they can be instantiated by

* within the factory interface.
* <p>
* Constructor parameters must be either supplied by the factory interface and marked with
* <code>@Assisted</code>, or they must be injectable.

* @deprecated {@link FactoryProvider} now works better with the standard {@literal @Inject}
* annotation. When using that annotation, parameters are matched by name and type rather than
* by position. In addition, values that use the standard {@literal @Inject} constructor
* annotation are eligible for method interception.
