+Abstract factory providers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+:py:class:`AbstractFactory` is a :py:class:`Factory` provider that must be
+explicitly overridden before calling.
+
+.. note::
+
+    Overriding of :py:class:`AbstractFactory` is possible only by another
+    :py:class:`Factory` provider.
+
+:py:class:`AbstractFactory` provider is useful when it is needed to specify
+explicitly that it only provides abstraction, but not an implementation.
+Client code must override such factories with factories that provide particular
+implementations. Otherwise, :py:class:`AbstractFactory` will raise an error
+on attempt of calling it. At the same time, :py:class:`AbstractFactory` is
+regular provider that could be injected into other providers (or used for
+any other kind of bindings) without being overridden. After
+:py:class:`AbstractFactory` provider has been overridden, its behaviour is
+identical to regular :py:class:`Factory` provider.
