* UDA for annotating class members as candidates for autowiring.
*
* Annotate member declarations in classes with this UDA to make them eligable for autowiring.
*
* Optionally a type as template parameter can be suplied to specify a qualifier. Qualifiers are used
* to autowire members according the the type given. If class X, which inherits class Y, is given a qualifier
* of type Y, then only class X's members inherited from type Y are autowired. If no qualifier is supplied, the
* type of the member is used as qualifier.
*
* Examples:
* Annotate member of class to be autowired:
* ---
* class Car {
* @Autowire
* public Engine engine;
* }
* ---
*
* Annotate member of class with qualifier:
* ---
* class V8Engine : Engine { ... }
*
* class Car {
* @Autowire!V8Engine
* public Engine engine;
* }
* ---
* The members of member "engine" will now be autowired properly, because the autowire mechanism will
* autowire member "engine" as if it's of type "V8Engine".
