public interface EntityInitializer
EntitySpec programmatically, or declared as part
of YAML recipes in a brooklyn.initializers section.
In the case of the latter, implementing classes should define a no-arg constructor
or a Map constructor so that YAML parameters can be supplied.
Note that initializers are only invoked on first creation; they are not called
during a rebind. Instead, the typical pattern is that initializers will create
EntityAdjunct instances such as Policy and Feed
which will be attached during rebind.

or to the type at hand (it is not even a proxy)
