test.php

<?php
// somewhere at the kernel ...
$container = new DiContainer(); 

// our code, this can be plain entities (POPO) that not defined in the container
$instance = new Example(); // No services injection at all!
$instance->test(); // logger will be requested and injected from the container automatically by Warlock

@vdroznik Yes, you are right ) Each modern DI-container creates all dependencies for service at once. Some of them use a trick with LazyProxy pattern to prevent the construction of whole the dependency graph, but only the Warlock will inject a dependency only when it is really needed in the concrete method. This will reduce a typical boilerplate code for constructors and will allow for better performance.

It's possible to inject services everywhere, for example, into entities or even into compiled Twig templates :)

Huh, didn't think about injection into entities. Interesting.
Usually this is a bad practice, but sometimes this could be really useful to make the code transparent and easy.
