/*
There are 5 types of services:

* Factory: most common. Used to share functions and objects across an app.
* Value: often used, just share a value
* Provider: common. Like factory, but with configuration
* Constant: rarely used, to share a value within app configuration.
* Service: rarely used, a ServiceService recipe (?) to share instances of methods and objects.
