factory sharing for pimple container

[pine3ree]

just an idea based on zend-servicemanager v3:

• stores the factory in the container
• allows reuse of the same factory (and same instance) for more than one service
• pass an extra parameter to the factory in order to make it possible to identify the requested service

Naming:
should we change $object to $factoryClass and $invokableClass to make it more explicit?

There are cases where you may want discrete instances of the factory. Additionally, the number of times you'll likely re-use the same factory are small enough that this would be a micro-optimization with side-effects.

Hello Matthew, my goal was having different services with the same dependencies share the same factory in a similar fashion of zend-servicemanager 3. Could we add this feature for pimple container, maybe using a different $config['dependencies'] key, st like'shared_factories'?

kind regards

@pine3ree Ah, I see; in zend-servicemanager, we cache the factory instance after first instantiation, and you're trying to emulate that. Re-opening, then.
