Jul 3 at 17:30 comment added Greg Burghardt Perhaps adding more information about the distinction between factories, suppliers, and providers would help readers to understand your answer.
Jul 3 at 15:44 comment added Greg Burghardt Factories, providers, suppliers: they all imply that implementation details of object creation are abstracted away into a method. For example in C#/.NET, a provider usually combines application configuration with the factory pattern. The concrete type returned by a "provider" is typically an interface or abstract class. Furthermore, I don't think the distinction between factory, provider, or supplier matters much here. Object scope and lifetime are the major considerations.
