| Allows a producer to report its "class" or category (corresponding to a
"component type" in other framework), e.g. richText, dateInput or the like.
This allows a form of "autowiring by type" whereby users need not explicitly
configure in the producer for each type of "component", but rather just
expose a setter named, for example, setRichTextProducer or
setDateInputProducer which accepts an argument conformable
to the actual type of "producer" implementing this interface.
