 /**
- * Extends the symfony container to set the service ID on the created object.
+ * Provides a container optimized for Drupal's needs.
+ *
+ * This container implementation is compatible with the default Symfony
+ * dependency injection container and similar to the Symfony ContainerBuilder
+ * class, but optimized for speed.
+ *
+ * It is based on a PHP array container definition dumped as a
+ * performance-optimized machine-readable format.
+ *
+ * The best way to initialize this container is to use a
+ * \Drupal\Core\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder, compile it and then
+ * retrieve the definition via
+ * \Drupal\Core\DependencyInjection\Dumper\OptimizedPhpArrayDumper::getArray().
+ *
+ * The retrieved array can be cached safely and then passed to this container
+ * via the constructor.
+ *
+ * As the container is unfrozen by default, a second parameter can be passed to
+ * the container to "freeze" the parameter bag.
+ *
+ * This container is different in behavior to the default Symfony container in
+ * the following ways:
+ *
+ * - It only allows lowercase service and parameter names, though it does only
+ *   enforce it via assertions for performance reasons.
+ * - The following functions, that are not part of the interface are explictly
+ *   not supported:
+ *     getParameterBag(), isFrozen(), compile(),
+ *     getAServiceWithAnIdByCamelCase().
+ * - getServiceIds() was added as it has a use-case in core and contrib.
+ * - Scopes are explicitly not allowed, because Symfony 2.8 has deprecated
+ *   them and they will be removed in Symfony 3.0.
+ * - Synchronized services are explicitly not supported, because Symfony 2.8 has
+ *   deprecated them and they will be removed in Symfony 3.0.
+ *
+ * Drupal specifically does not allow serializing the container and any service
+ * that is set dynamically gets a _serviceID property, so serialization via a
+ * trait can be supported by some services.
+ *
