/**

* {@link ObjectMapper}) to get called when a potentially
* recoverable problem is encountered during deserialization
* process. Handlers can try to resolve the problem, throw
* an exception or just skip the content.
*
* Default implementations for all methods implemented minimal
* "do nothing" functionality, which is roughly equivalent to
* not having a registered listener at all. This allows for
* only implemented handler methods one is interested in, without
* handling other cases.
*
* NOTE: it is typically NOT acceptable to simply do nothing,
* because this will result in unprocessed tokens being left in
* token stream (read via {@link JsonParser}, in case a structured
* (JSON Object or JSON Array) value is being pointed to by parser.
