  `DependencyMetadata is used by the framework to extend DI.
  
  Only metadata implementing `DependencyMetadata` are added to the list of dependency
  properties.
  
  For example:
  
  ```
  class Exclude extends DependencyMetadata {}
  class NotDependencyProperty {}
  
  class AComponent {
    constructor(@Exclude @NotDependencyProperty aService:AService) {}
  }
  ```
  
  will create the following dependency:
  
  ```
  new Dependency(Key.get(AService), [new Exclude()])
  ```
  
  The framework can use `new Exclude()` to handle the `aService` dependency
  in a specific way.
