In VTK, certain classes can have what are called "implementations". When the
base class is requested, it instead looks into a list of available
implementations. One of the implementations is then constructed and returned
instead.
 
For instance, there is a `vtkRenderWindow` class in VTK. When this is
constructed, it instead actually returns a window for the X window system,
Cocoa, or Win32 depending on what is available.
 
VTK's implementation utilizes the
[autoinit](https://docs.vtk.org/en/latest/api/cmake/ModuleSystem.html#autoinit)
logic of the
module system. A module which contains an object factory must declare itself as
`IMPLEMENTABLE` and modules which contain an implementation of an object
factory must claim that they `IMPLEMENTS` modules containing those base object
factories (a module may contain the object factory and an implementation; it
then says that it `IMPLEMENTS` itself).

@brief Generate source for overrides in a module
 
A module may only have a single declaration of all its object factory
implementations. This function generates the source for all of the overrides
declared using @ref vtk_object_factory_declare.

  SOURCE_FILE <variable>

  [EXTRA_INCLUDES <include>...])
~~~
 
  - `SOURCE_FILE`: (Required) A variable to set to the path to generated source
    file.
  - `HEADER_FILE`: (Recommended) A variable to set to the path to generated
    header file. This should not be treated as a public header.
  - `EXPORT_MACRO`: (Recommended) The export macro to add to the generated
    class.
  - `INITIAL_CODE`: C++ code to run when the object factory is initialized.
  - `EXTRA_INCLUDES`: A list of headers to include. The header names need to
    include the `<>` or `""` quoting.
