DependencyArtifactSelector (Gradle API 8.11)

```
public interface DependencyArtifactSelector
```
Details about an artifact selection in the context of a dependency substitution. Artifact selections are handy as a migration path from the Maven or Ivy ecosystem, where different "variants" are actually represented as different artifacts, with specific (type, extension, classifier) sub-coordinates, in addition to the GAV (group, artifact, version) coordinates. It is preferable to use component metadata rules to properly describe the variants of a module, so this variant selector should only be used when defining such rules is not possible or too complex for the use case.
