-  2nd stage initialization using the service implementation pointer.
+    To be used like:
 
-  Some services have to be initialized after the object has been acquire()'d - so the
-  implementation has to provide function that does this 2nd stage initialization.

-  Typically, this happens in framework/.

-  @param aArguments
-  Arguments the instance will use for its own initialization.
+    @param instance
+    Newly created instance that should be acquired.
