-// createPrebuiltApexModules creates modules necessary to export files from the prebuilt apex to the
-// build.
-//
-// If this needs to make files from within a `.apex` file available for use by other Soong modules,
-// e.g. make dex implementation jars available for `contents` listed in exported_bootclasspath_fragments,
-// it does so as follows:
-//
-//  1. It creates a `deapexer` module that actually extracts the files from the `.apex` file and
-//     makes them available for use by other modules, at both Soong and ninja levels.
-//
-//  2. It adds a dependency onto those modules and creates an apex specific variant similar to what
-//     an `apex` module does. That ensures that code which looks for specific apex variant, e.g.
-//     dexpreopt, will work the same way from source and prebuilt.
-//
-//  3. The `deapexer` module adds a dependency from the modules that require the exported files onto
-//     itself so that they can retrieve the file paths to those files.
-//
-// It also creates a child module `selector` that is responsible for selecting the appropriate
-// input apex for both the prebuilt_apex and the deapexer. That is needed for a couple of reasons:
-//
-//  1. To dedup the selection logic so it only runs in one module.
-//
-//  2. To allow the deapexer to be wired up to a different source for the input apex, e.g. an
-//     `apex_set`.
