+module Puppet::Pops
+module Binder
+# A helper class that makes it easier to construct a Bindings model.
+#
+# The Bindings Model
+# ------------------
+# The BindingsModel (defined in {Bindings} is a model that is intended to be generally free from Ruby concerns.
+# This means that it is possible for system integrators to create and serialize such models using other technologies than
+# Ruby. This manifests itself in the model in that producers are described using instances of a `ProducerDescriptor` rather than
+# describing Ruby classes directly. This is also true of the type system where type is expressed using the {Types} model
+# to describe all types.
+#
+# This class, the `BindingsFactory` is a concrete Ruby API for constructing instances of classes in the model.
+#
+# Named Bindings
+# --------------
+# The typical usage of the factory is to call {named_bindings} which creates a container of bindings wrapped in a *build object*
+# equipped with convenience methods to define the details of the just created named bindings.
+# The returned builder is an instance of {BindingsFactory::BindingsContainerBuilder BindingsContainerBuilder}.
+#
+# Binding
+# -------
+# A Binding binds a type/name key to a producer of a value. A binding is conveniently created by calling `bind` on a
+# `BindingsContainerBuilder`. The call to bind, produces a binding wrapped in a build object equipped with convenience methods
+# to define the details of the just created binding. The returned builder is an instance of
+# {BindingsFactory::BindingsBuilder BindingsBuilder}.
+#
+# Multibinding
+# ------------
+# A multibinding works like a binding, but it requires an additional ID. It also places constraints on the type of the binding;
+# it must be a collection type (Hash or Array).
+#
+# Constructing and Contributing Bindings from Ruby
+# ------------------------------------------------
+# The bindings system is used by referencing bindings symbolically; these are then specified in a Ruby file which is autoloaded
+# by Puppet. The entry point for user code that creates bindings is described in {Puppet::Bindings Bindings}.
+# That class makes use of a BindingsFactory, and the builder objects to make it easy to construct bindings.
+#
+# It is intended that a user defining bindings in Ruby should be able to use the builder object methods for the majority of tasks.
+# If something advanced is wanted, use of one of the helper class methods on the BuildingsFactory, and/or the
+# {Types::TypeCalculator TypeCalculator} will be required to create and configure objects that are not handled by
+# the methods in the builder objects.
+#
+# Chaining of calls
+# ------------------
+# Since all the build methods return the build object it is easy to stack on additional calls. The intention is to
+# do this in an order that is readable from left to right: `bind.string.name('thename').to(42)`, but there is nothing preventing
+# making the calls in some other order e.g. `bind.to(42).name('thename').string`, the second is quite unreadable but produces
+# the same result.
+#
+# For sake of human readability, the method `name` is alsp available as `named`, with the intention that it is used after a type,
+# e.g. `bind.integer.named('the meaning of life').to(42)`
+#
+# Methods taking blocks
+# ----------------------
+# Several methods take an optional block. The block evaluates with the builder object as `self`. This means that there is no
+# need to chain the methods calls, they can instead be made in sequence - e.g.
+#
+#     bind do
+#       integer
+#       named 'the meaning of life'
+#       to 42
+#     end
+#
+# or mix the two styles
+#
+#     bind do
+#       integer.named 'the meaning of life'
+#       to 42
+#     end
+#
+# Unwrapping the result
+# ---------------------
+# The result from all methods is a builder object. Call the method `model` to unwrap the constructed bindings model object.
+#
+#     bindings = BindingsFactory.named_bindings('my named bindings') do
+#       # bind things
+#     end.model
+#
+# @example Create a NamedBinding with content
+#   result = BindingsFactory.named_bindings("mymodule::mybindings") do
