+/**
+ * The `ember-get-config` addon conceptually does just one thing: re-exports the `config/environment` runtime module
+ * from the host app so that addons can import it themseles. It handles the "hard part" of knowing what the host app's
+ * module name is, since that's not something an addon can normally know ahead of time.
+ *
+ * From a dependency graph perspective though, declaring all of the dependencies correctly would require a circular
+ * dependency from the addon back to the host app itself, which we don't want to introduce.
+ *
+ * We need to basically re-implement the entire addon's behavior so that it still exports the app's
+ * `config/environment` runtime value, but without needing it to actually export from the host app's module.
