Features
--------

[](#features)

- PSR-11 compatible container (`Psr\Container\ContainerInterface`).
- Autowiring via constructor type hints.
- Configurable object lifecycle:
    - non-shared (default): new instance on each `get()`;
    - shared: singleton-like instances.
- Lazy initialization modes (`Ghost`, `Proxy`, nested modes).
- Circular reference resolution.
- Argument helpers for dynamic wiring (`Arg::get()`, `Arg::new()`, `Arg::id()`).
