    /**
     * This Exception is thrown when more than one Composite implements a MixinType
     * that one tries to use to create a Composite instance from.
     * <p>
     * For instance;
     * </p>
     * <pre><code>
     * public interface AbcComposite extends TransientComposite, Abc
     * {}
     *
     * public interface DefComposite extends TransientComposite, Def
     * {}
     *
     * public interface Abc
     * {}
     *
     * public interface Def extends Abc
     * {}
     *
     *
     * TransientBuilder cb = factory.newTransientBuilder( Abc.class );
     * </code></pre>
     * <p>
     * In the code above, both the AbcComposite and DefComposite implement Abc, and therefore
     * the <code>newTransientBuilder</code> method can not unambiguously figure out which
     * one is intended.
