/**
 * This annotation is dedicated to Groovy scripts.
 * 
 * In a perfect world this annotation should never be needed. Only very dubious Groovy scripts may require its usage,
 * where circular dependencies need to be broken so that a DataSet can be imported. The presence of circular dependencies
 * is intrinsically wrong, but it may happen with legacy Rules designed before the attribute tracking mechanism was put
 * in place.
 * 
 * When this annotation is put on a Groovy script, no attribute tracking is performed, meaning the Rule's attributes are
 * simply ignored. As a consequence no attribute type inference can occur, and the script must explicitly define the
 * type of all the object's attributes present in the script.
