T - the type of object to create
All Known Subinterfaces:

interface LenientMode<T>
Provides support for lenient mode.

Instancio supports two modes: strict and lenient, an idea inspired by Mockito's highly useful strict stubbing feature.

In strict mode, unused selectors will trigger an error. In lenient mode, unused selectors are ignored. By default, Instancio runs in strict mode. Strict mode can be disabled by invoking the lenient() method or using the Keys.MODE setting.
