/// A general-purpose asynchronous build dependency graph manager.
///
/// It consumes source assets (including Dart files) in a set of packages,
/// runs transformations on them, and then tracks which sources have been
/// modified and which transformations need to be re-run.
///
/// To do this, you give barback a [PackageProvider] which can yield a set of
/// [Transformer]s and raw source [Asset]s. Then you tell it which input files
/// have been added or modified by calling [updateSources]. Barback will
/// automatically wire up the appropriate transformers to those inputs and
/// start running them asynchronously. If a transformer produces outputs that
/// can be consumed by other transformers, they will automatically be pipelined
/// correctly.
///
/// You can then request assets (either source or generated) by calling
/// [getAssetById]. This will wait for any necessary transformations and then
/// return the asset.
///
/// When source files have been modified or removed, tell barback by calling
/// [updateSources] and [removeSources] as appropriate. Barback will
/// automatically track which transformations are affected by those changes and
/// re-run them as needed.
///
/// Barback tries to be resilient to errors since assets are often in an
/// in-progress state. When errors occur, they will be captured and emitted on
/// the [errors] stream.
