30 
31     The methods in this class are designed to find the requested resources in as
32     many cases as possible.  They search various places, roughly from most
33     specific to most general.  This works well if a component is known to bring
34     with it a certain resource, and that resource has to be found.  However, it
35     might not work very well in cases where you want to check whether a
36     component brings with it a certain resource or not: a similarly named
37     resource from another component might be found by the eager search
38     algorithm.
