void Init(IKernel kernel)

Initializes the handler with a reference to the kernel.

bool IsBeingResolvedInContext(CreationContext context)

Tests whether the handler is already being resolved in given context.

bool Release(object instance)

Implementors should dispose the component instance

void RemoveCustomDependencyValue(object key)

TODO: Document this

Implementors should return a valid instance for the component the handler is responsible. It should throw an exception in the case the component can't be created for some reason

object TryResolve(CreationContext context)

Implementors should return a valid instance for the component the handler is responsible. It should return null in the case the component can't be created for some reason
