+module Binder
+# This module contains the various producers used by Puppet Bindings.
+
+# The main (abstract) class is {Producers::Producer} which documents the
+# Producer API and serves as a base class for all other producers.
+# It is required that custom producers inherit from this producer (directly or indirectly).
+#
+# The selection of a Producer is typically performed by the Innjector when it configures itself
+# from a Bindings model where a {Bindings::ProducerDescriptor} describes
+# which producer to use. The configuration uses this to create the concrete producer.
+# It is possible to describe that a particular producer class is to be used, and also to describe that
+# a custom producer (derived from Producer) should be used. This is available for both regular
+# bindings as well as multi-bindings.

+module Producers
+  # Producer is an abstract base class representing the base contract for a bound producer.
+  # Typically, when a lookup is performed it is the value that is returned (via a producer), but
+  # it is also possible to lookup the producer, and ask it to produce the value (the producer may
+  # return a series of values, which makes this especially useful).
+  #
+  # When looking up a producer, it is of importance to only use the API of the Producer class
+  # unless it is known that a particular custom producer class has been bound.
+  #
+  # Custom Producers
+  # ----------------
+  # The intent is that this class is derived for custom producers that require additional
+  # options/arguments when producing an instance. Such a custom producer may raise an error if called
+  # with too few arguments, or may implement specific `produce` methods and always raise an
+  # error on #produce indicating that this producer requires custom calls and that it can not
+  # be used as an implicit producer.
+  #
+  # Features of Producer
+  # --------------------
+  # The Producer class is abstract, but offers the ability to transform the produced result
+  # by passing the option `:transformer` which should be a Puppet Lambda Expression taking one argument
+  # and producing the transformed (wanted) result.
