The documentation currently states that Inversion of Control (IoC) and Dependency Injection (DI) are the same thing. Although the two terms are related, they are not synonymous, but DI is a type of IoC.

I believe this change is important because using the terms interchangeably really muddies the water about the meaning of these two fundamental concepts of software frameworks.
