/**
 * Overrides the default rules for field persistence and defines a field as
 * being non-persistent even when it is not declared with the
 * transient keyword.
 *
 * By default, the persistent fields of a class are all declared instance
 * fields that are non-transient (are not declared with the
 * transient keyword).  The default rules may be overridden by
 * specifying the {@link NotPersistent} or {@link NotTransient} annotation.
 *
 * For example, the following field is non-transient (persistent) with
 * respect to Java serialization but is transient with respect to the DPL.
 *
 *  *      {@code @NotPersistent}
 *      int myField;
 * }
 * 
 *
 * @see NotTransient
