/**
 * Marks a method to be invoked in the after event phase of event processing. A SEP 
 * processes event handling methods in two phases:
 * 
 * Event in phase - processes handler methods in topological order
 * 
After event phase - processes handler methods in reverse topological order
 * 
 * 
 * An AfterEvent method will be called after all dependents have finished processing any
 * after event phase methods. AfterEvent handlers are always called regardless of the incoming 
 * event.
