/**
 * General purpose factory loading mechanism.
 *
 * <p>The {@code SpringFactoriesLoader} loads and instantiates factories of a given type
 * from a given file location. If a location is not given, the {@linkplain
 * #DEFAULT_FACTORIES_LOCATION default location} is used.
 *
 * <p>The file should be in {@link Properties} format, where the key is the fully
 * qualified interface or abstract class name, and the value is a comma separated list of
 * implementations. For instance:
 * <pre class="code">
 * example.MyService=example.MyServiceImpl1,example.MyServiceImpl2
 * </pre>
 * where {@code MyService} is the name of the interface, and {@code MyServiceImpl1} and
 * {@code MyServiceImpl2} are the two implementations.
