Singleton and LazySingleton support

[NicolaVerbeeck]

It would be great if we could have singletons and lazy singleton support

Can you be more specific on what you are looking for? You can already inject object and use scopes to retain instances.

I must be missing the point of the scopes in that case. I was looking for something like:

@LazySingleton
@Inject
class UserRepository internal constructor(
    private val userApi: UserApi,
)```

Scopes live as long as their component, so you can do this by having a single top-level component.

@Scope
annotation class Singleton

@Singleton
@Inject
class UserRepository

@Singleton
@Component
abstract class SingletonComponent {
  abstract val userRepo: UserRepository

  companion object {
    val Instance = SingletonComponent::class.create()
  }
}

And scoped dependencies are instantiated when they are first accessed so I guess they are all lazy?

I'll take a look, thanks!
