Currently, it is not possible to get a System-scoped configuration class using the ConfigurationProviderUtil, since there is no SettingsLocator for the global scope. This util can be used to get a Configuration at every other scope. This method of getting a Configuration is very helpful for when a configuration is required in a class that is not a component, and you would rather not change the constructor, add methods, or make it a Component.
