Description

In the future, I plan to create a custom injector for Sling Models. It would be great if documentation will have some section which describes how do it in a most simple way.

Also API / Impl could be improved for that perspective of usage.
I would like to use in my package following snippet which I found in unit tests:

factory = new ModelAdapterFactory();
factory.activate(componentCtx);
factory.bindInjector(new MyCustomInjector(), new ServicePropertiesMap(1, 1));

But methods in factory have protected scope and I cannot use them directly in my package without using a reflection.

I realize that maybe custom injectors are not planned in design but I hope that suggested improvement could make SM more extensible.
