> Using MSC and WildFly Core's Capabilities and Requirements support there is a limit as to how far we can go with generic and maintain type safety.
> For any type returned by a factory method we should have a type that extends from the functional interface with the geeneric types specified e.g.
> {code}
>   ProvidersSupplier extends Supplier<Provider[]>
> {code}
> Code that depends on this can still depend on Supplier<Provider[]>
