-Port of the Java example of "Constructor Injection" in
+Dependency Injection (DI) is a technique whereby one object supplies the dependencies (services)
+to another object (client).
+It allows to decouple objects: no need to change client code simply because an object it depends on
+needs to be changed to a different one. (Open/Closed principle)
