023 * A class representing an argument for a constructor invocation to be used by a {@link BeanDeclaration}.
024 * </p>
025 * <p>
026 * A {@code BeanDeclaration} can provide a list of instances of this class to define the constructor to be invoked on
027 * the bean class. Each constructor argument can either be a simple value or a nested {@code BeanDeclaration}. In the
028 * latter case, the bean is resolved recursively.

031 * The constructor to be invoked on the bean class has to be determined based on the types of the constructor arguments.
032 * To avoid ambiguity, the type name can be explicitly provided.
