BeanProvider.injectFields(myObject);
------------------------------------
+===== DependentProvider
+
+`DependentProvider` must be used instead of `BeanProvider` to obtain
instances of dependent-scoped beans to allow for
+their proper destruction.
+
+When obtaining contextual instances using `@Inject`, the normal-scoped
ones get destroyed along with their associated
+context. However, instances of dependent-scoped beans -- as implied by
their name -- depend on the lifecycle of
+the contextual instance which declares them and get destroyed along with
this declaring bean's instance.
+
+However, if dependent-scoped instances are obtained programmatically using
`DependentProvider`, there's no
+"declaring bean" to speak of and they *must be destroyed manually*.
