/**
* Specifies the name of the XML element.
*
* Used on method
*
* When used on methods declared on interfaces that derive
* from {@link TypedXmlWriter}, it specifies that the invocation
* of the method will produce an element of the specified name.
*
*
* The method signature has to match one of the following patterns.
*
*
* - Child writer: {@code TW foo()}
* - TW must be an interface derived from {@link TypedXmlWriter}.
* When this method is called, a new child element is started,
* and its content can be written by using the returned {@code TW}
* object. This child element will be ended when its _commit method
* is called.
*
- Leaf element: {@code void foo(DT1,DT2,...)}
* - DTi must be datatype objects.
* When this method is called, a new child element is started,
* followed by the whitespace-separated text data from each of
* the datatype objects, followed by the end tag.
*
*
* Used on interface
*
* When used on interfaces that derive from {@link TypedXmlWriter},
* it associates an element name with that interface. This name is
* used in a few places, such as in {@link TXW#create(Class,XmlSerializer)}
* and {@link TypedXmlWriter#_element(Class)}.
