/** If annotates a class and it's a component, it will be eventually disposed of by

 * disposed of upon context destruction.

 * Note that by annotating a field or component, you automatically keep a reference to component in
 * {@link com.github.czyzby.autumn.context.ContextDestroyer}. If you want the component garbage-collected just after the
 * initiation, make sure to do it manually.
