Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`<T> long`	`apply(T instance)`	The "natural" way of handling an instance as defined by the implementation.
`<T> long`	`applyEager(T instance)`	A way to signal to the implementation that the passed instance is supposed to be handled eagerly, meaning it shall be handled even if the handling implementation does not deem it necessary. This is needed, for example, to store composition pattern instances without breaking OOP encapsulation concepts.
`ObjectSwizzling`	`getObjectRetriever()`
