/**
 * Identifies a {@link androidx.work.ListenableWorker}'s constructor for injection.
 * <p>
 * The {@code Worker} will be available for creation by the
 * {@link androidx.hilt.work.HiltWorkerFactory} that should be set in {@code WorkManager}'s
 * configuration via
 * {@link androidx.work.Configuration.Builder#setWorkerFactory(androidx.work.WorkerFactory)}.
 * The {@code HiltWorker} containing a constructor annotated with
 * <a href="https://dagger.dev/api/latest/dagger/assisted/AssistedInject">AssistedInject</a> will
 * have its dependencies defined in the constructor parameters injected by Dagger's Hilt.
 * <p>
 * Example:
 * <pre>
 * &#64;HiltWorker
 * public class UploadWorker extends Worker {
 *     &#64;AssistedInject
 *     public UploadWorker(&#64;Assisted Context context, &#64;Assisted WorkerParameters params,
 *             HttpClient httpClient) {
 *         // ...
 *     }
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <pre>
 * &#64;HiltAndroidApp
 * public class MyApplication extends Application implements Configuration.Provider {
 *     &#64;Inject HiltWorkerFactory workerFactory;
 *
 *     &#64;Override
 *     public Configuration getWorkManagerConfiguration() {
 *         return Configuration.Builder()
 *                 .setWorkerFactory(workerFactory)
 *                 .build();
 *     }
 * }
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * Only one constructor in the {@code Worker} must be annotated with
 * <a href="https://dagger.dev/api/latest/dagger/assisted/AssistedInject">AssistedInject</a>.
 * The constructor must define parameters for a
 * <a href="https://dagger.dev/api/latest/dagger/assisted/Assisted">Assisted</a>-annotated
 * {@code Context} and a
 * <a href="https://dagger.dev/api/latest/dagger/assisted/Assisted">Assisted</a>-annotated
 * {@code WorkerParameters} along with any other dependencies. Both the {@code Context} and
 * {@code WorkerParameters} must not be a type param of {@link javax.inject.Provider} nor
 * <a href="https://dagger.dev/api/latest/dagger/Lazy">Lazy</a> and must not be qualified.
 * <p>
 * Only dependencies available in the
 * <a href="https://dagger.dev/api/latest/dagger/hilt/components/SingletonComponent">SingletonComponent</a>
 * can be injected into the {@code Worker}.
