-  provider itself.
-- ``di.AbstractCatalog.cls_providers`` is read-only attribute contains ``dict``
-  of current catalog providers, where key is the name of provider and value is 
-  provider itself.
-- ``di.AbstractCatalog.inherited_providers`` is read-only attribute contains 
-  ``dict`` of all providers that are inherited from parent catalogs, where key 
-  is the name of provider and value is provider itself. 
-- ``di.AbstractCatalog.filter(provider_type=di.Provider)`` is a class method 
-  that could be used for filtering catalog providers by provider types 
-  (for example, for getting all ``di.Factory`` providers). 
-  ``di.AbstractCatalog.filter()`` method use ``di.AbstractCatalog.providers``.

-Overriding of catalogs
-----------------------

-Catalogs can be overridden by other catalogs. This, actually, means that

-There are two ways to override catalog by another catalog:
