 * Factory interface for transitions that are created dynamically, instead of being created as

 *
 * <p>This class allows for cases where the general <i>type</i> of a transition is known, but the
 * specifics of the transition itself cannot be determined until the target is configured. Examples
 * of this are transitions that depend on other (non-configured) attributes from the same target, or
 * transitions that depend on state determined during configuration, such as the execution platform
 * or resolved toolchains.
 *
 * <p>Implementations must override {@link Object#equals} and {@link Object#hashCode} unless
 * exclusively accessed as singletons.
 *
 * @param <T> the type of data object passed to the {@link #create} method, used to create the
 *     actual {@link ConfigurationTransition} instance
