 * Annotation that is similar to JAXB javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElementWrapper,
 * to indicate wrapper element to use (if any) for Collection types (arrays,
 * java.util.Collection). If defined, a separate container (wrapper) element
 * is used; if not, entries are written without wrapping.
 * Name of wrapper element defaults to name of the property but can be explicitly defined
 * to something else.
