/** Should annotate {@link com.github.czyzby.autumn.processor.AnnotationProcessor} implementations. These classes are
 * scanned for and initiated before other components, so they can process other components' annotated fields, methods
 * and types.
 *
 * <p>
 * Note that processors are meta-components and are initiated BEFORE regular components, as they are used to process
 * other components' annotations. While processors can have their fields injected, methods processed (etc), they should
 * reference only other meta-components to be properly initiated.
