Module factory 

Factory types and associated utilities.

In CLAP, factories are singleton objects exposed by the plugin library’s entry point, which can in turn expose various functionalities.

Each factory type has a standard, unique identifier, which allows hosts to query plugins for known factory type implementations.

In Clack, factory implementations are represented by the Factory trait.

The main factory type (and, at the time of this writing, the only stable standard one), is the PluginFactory, which enables hosts to list all the plugin implementations present in an entry.

See the Entry trait documentation for an example on how to create a custom entry and plugin factory.
