## Interface Instantiatable<T>

- All Known Implementing Classes:

      public interface Instantiatable<T>

  Add-on interface used to indicate things that may be "blueprint" objects which can not be used as is, but are used for creating usable per-process (serialization, deserialization) instances, using `createInstance()` method.

  Note that some implementations may choose to implement `createInstance()` by simply returning 'this': this is acceptable if instances are stateless.
