/**
 * A runtime object which captures compile-time type information.
 *
 * #### Notes
 * A token captures the compile-time type of an interface or class in
 * an object which is useful for various type-safe runtime operations.
 *
 * #### Example
 * ``` typescript
 * interface IThing {
 *   value: number;
 * }
 *
 * const IThing = new Token<IThing>('my-module/IThing');
 *
 * // some runtime type registry
 * registry.registerFactory(IThing, () => { value: 42 });
 *
 * // later...
 * let thing = registry.getInstance(IThing);
 * thing.value; // 42
 * ```

     * #### Notes
     * This can be useful for debugging and logging.
