 * This annotation is used to identify when a {@link ByteBuf} must be as lenght
 * as the logical data it contains.
 * 
 * For example, when it annotates a parameter of a constructor of a BsonValue,
 * the annotated ByteBuf must only contain the data associated with that value
 * so a longer ByteBuf shall be {@linkplain ByteBuf#slice(int, int) sliced}.
