/**
* Marker annotation used to denote a service that is the primary instance of some common interface. This is often used
* when a service is a {@linkplain org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.services.ChainBuilder chain of command} or {@linkplain
* org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.services.StrategyBuilder strategy-based} and, therefore, many services will implement the
