class ServiceContainer
{
	use ReturnTypeContainerTrait;

	public function getDatabaseConnection(): Connection
	{
		$connection = new Connection();

		...

		return $connection;
	}

	public function getLogger(): LoggerInterface
	{
		static $logger;

		return $logger ?: $logger = new Logger();
	}

	// this ReturnType won't be accessible by `get` method
	private function getDependency(): Dependency
	{
		return new Dependency();
	}

}
