/// ENGLISH:
/// Annotation to declare a dependency as a singleton.
///
/// Use the `@singleton()` annotation on provider methods inside a module
/// to indicate that only a single instance of this dependency should be
/// created and shared throughout the application's lifecycle. This is
/// typically used in dependency injection frameworks or service locators
/// to guarantee a single shared instance.
///
/// Example:
/// ```dart
/// @module()
/// abstract class AppModule extends Module {
///   @singleton()
///   Dio dio() => Dio();
/// }
/// ```
///
/// This will generate code like:
/// ```dart
/// final class $AppModule extends AppModule {
///   @override
///   void builder(Scope currentScope) {
///     bind<Dio>().toProvide(() => dio()).singleton();
///   }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// RUSSIAN (Русский):
/// Аннотация для объявления зависимости как синглтона.
///
/// Используйте `@singleton()` для методов-провайдеров внутри модуля,
/// чтобы указать, что соответствующий объект должен быть создан
/// единожды и использоваться во всём приложении (общий синглтон).
/// Это характерно для систем внедрения зависимостей и сервис-локаторов,
/// чтобы гарантировать один общий экземпляр.
///
/// Пример:
/// ```dart
/// @module()
/// abstract class AppModule extends Module {
///   @singleton()
///   Dio dio() => Dio();
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Будет сгенерирован следующий код:
/// ```dart
/// final class $AppModule extends AppModule {
///   @override
///   void builder(Scope currentScope) {
///     bind<Dio>().toProvide(() => dio()).singleton();
///   }
/// }
/// ```
// ignore: camel_case_types
final class singleton {
  /// Creates a [singleton] annotation.
  const singleton();
