IContainer.Persistable<E>	A `container` with additional methods to add or remove elements.
IContainer.Persistence<E>
IContainerDelta<E>	Describes the addition or removal of a single element from a `container`.
IContainerEvent<E>	An `event` fired from a `container` when its elements have changed.
IContainerEventVisitor<E>	A callback interface for visiting `container deltas`.
IContainerEventVisitor.Filtered<E>	An extension interface for `container event visitors` that can `filter` deltas from being visited.
IElementProcessor	Processes elements of a `managed container` when they're added to the container.
IManagedContainer	A `container` that populates itself by means of element `factories` and `post processors` .
IManagedContainer.ContainerAware
IManagedContainerFactory	An extension of the `IFactory` protocol that provides an awareness of the container that instantiated it, so that the factory may reach back into that container for dependencies.
IManagedContainerProvider
IPluginContainer	A `managed container` that is configured by the `extension registry` .
ISlow	A marker interface to indicate that some method calls may be slow.
SelfAttachingContainerListener.DoNotDescend

ContainerDelta<E>	A default `container delta` implementation.
ContainerEvent<E>	A default `container event` implementation.
ContainerEventAdapter<E>	A `listener` that dispatches container `events` to methods that can be overridden by extenders.
ContainerPersistence<E>
ContainerUtil	Various static helper methods for dealing with `containers`.
FileContainerPersistence<E>
LifecycleEventConverter<E>	A delegating `listener` that converts `lifecycle events` into `container events`.
ManagedContainer	A default implementation of a `managed container`.
SelfAttachingContainerListener
SelfAttachingContainerListener.Delegating
SetContainer<E>	An implementation of a `container` that stores its `elements` in a `set`.
