By using function literals with receiver, we can avoid requiring
lambda parameters for a shorter and nicer syntax. Based on a
proposal from Joseph Taylor.

As a follow-up of the ApplicationContext Kotlin extensions, close to
the Kotlin functional WebFlux DSL and partially inspired of the
Groovy/Scala bean configuration DSL, this commit introduces a
lightweight Kotlin DSL for functional bean declaration.
It allows declaring beans as following:
beans {
bean<Foo>()
profile("bar") {
bean<Bar>("bar", scope = Scope.PROTOTYPE)
}
environment({ it.activeProfiles.contains("baz") }) {
bean { Baz(it.ref()) }
bean { Baz(it.ref("bar")) }
}
}
Advantages compared to Regular ApplicationContext API are:
- No exposure of low-level ApplicationContext API
- Focused DSL easier to read, but also easier to write with a fewer
entries in the auto-complete
- Declarative syntax instead of functions with verbs like registerBeans
while still allowing programmatic registration of beans if needed
- Such DSL is idiomatic in Kotlin
- No need to have an ApplicationContext instance to write how you
register your beans since beans { } DSL is conceptually a
Consumer<GenericApplicationContext>
This DSL effectively replaces ApplicationContext Kotlin extensions as
the recommended way to register beans in a functional way with Kotlin.

Put the lambda parameter at the end and use a function
instead of a supplier to be able to register beans like this:
val context = GenericApplicationContext()
context.registerBean(Foo::class)
context.registerBean{ Bar(it.getBean(Foo::class)) }

Based on an idea from Mario Arias, we can avoid requiring specifying
explicitly Supplier lambda type in Kotlin API by declaring the supplier
parameter as "crossinline supplier: () -> T" instead of
"supplier: Supplier<T>".
