Interface ReflectiveBeanDefinitions

@Internal public interface ReflectiveBeanDefinitions
Registers a class the annotation processors never saw as a bean, reflectively.

The one implementation lives behind micronaut-reflection; without that module on the classpath no bean of this type exists and nothing is ever instantiated reflectively.
