public interface ResolverClassCommand
A command used by a resolver strategy to get class descriptors. A command may return none, a
single class descriptor or multiple class descriptors and even if class descriptors are returned,
is not garanteed that the requested descriptor is within. No exceptions are thrown if the class
could not be resolved - this is a possible result! Commands are planned to be something like a
service which might get invoked multiple times in parallel. So no resolve specific states are
allowed to be stored in the class state!
