/**
 * Interface for registries that hold bean definitions, for example RootBeanDefinition
 * and ChildBeanDefinition instances. Typically implemented by BeanFactories that
 * internally work with the AbstractBeanDefinition hierarchy.
 *
 * <p>This is the only interface in Spring's bean factory packages that encapsulates
 * <i>registration</i> of bean definitions. The standard BeanFactory interfaces
 * only cover access to a <i>fully configured factory instance</i>.
 *
 * <p>Spring's bean definition readers expect to work on an implementation of this
 * interface. Known implementors within the Spring core are DefaultListableBeanFactory
 * and GenericApplicationContext.
