 * The moduleCaller works around a very specific pattern we use with
 * AdonisJS, ie to construct classes and call methods using the
 * container.
 *
 * For example: Controllers of AdonisJS allows defining a controller
 * as follows
 *
 * ```ts
 * route.get('/', [HomeController, 'index'])
 * ```
 *
 * Behind the scenes, we have to run following operations in order to call the
 * handle method on the defined middleware.
 *
 * - Create an instance of the controller class using the container.
 * - Call the method using the container. Hence having the ability to use
 *   DI
