        // created instead, to discussing method injection vs service locator vs other subtleties, see for example
        // this post http://marisks.net/2016/12/19/dependency-injection-with-extension-methods/
        //
        // point is, we do NOT want a service, we DO want to write model.Value<int>("alias", "fr-FR") and hit
        // fallback somehow - which pretty much rules out method injection, and basically anything but service
        // locator - bah, let's face it, it works
        //
        // besides, for tests, Current support setting a fallback without even a container
        //
        // Update to this comment 8/2/2020: issue as been ameliorated by creating extensions methods in Umbraco.Core
        // that accept the dependencies as arguments for many of these extension methods, and can be used within the Umbraco code-base.
        // For site developers, the "friendly" extension methods using service location have been maintained, delegating to the ones that
        // take the dependencies as parameters.
