   * constructor may take multiple arguments that are unknown to Drupal. The
   * create() method always takes one parameter -- the container. The purpose
   * of the create() method is twofold: It provides a standard way for Drupal
   * to construct the object, meanwhile it provides you a place to get needed
   * constructor parameters from the container.
   *
   * In this case, we ask the container for an entity query factory. We then
   * pass the factory to our class as a constructor parameter.
