Haha. At last I see why you chose the name "Provider" for your classes. In essence, they tell how to instantiate a new instance. This *is* different for various Provider classes. In fact, though, the Provider *classes* seem to obscure their essence, namely defining a provider *method* (or function) that delivers new instances. Imo, the "provider" keyword argument to the *new* register_class function would better be called "factory". This is standard terminology, I think...
