+a way as to maximize reusability, testability and maintainability compared to
+traditional approaches such as constructors, factories, and service locators
+(e.g., JNDI).  This process, known as dependency injection, is beneficial to
+most nontrivial applications.
+
+Many types depend on other types.  For example, a @var{Stopwatch} might depend
+on a @var{TimeSource}.  The types on which a type depends are known as its
+dependencies.  The process of finding an instance of a dependency to use at run
+time is known as resolving the dependency.  If no such instance can be found,
+the dependency is said to be unsatisfied, and the application is broken.")
