/**
* Put on any field to make lombok build a 'wither' - a withX method which produces a clone of this object (except for 1 field which gets a new value).
*
* Complete documentation is found at the project lombok features page for @Wither.
*
* Even though it is not listed, this annotation also has the {@code onParam} and {@code onMethod} parameter. See the full documentation for more details.
*
* Example:
*
* private @Wither final int foo;
*
*
* will generate:
*
*
* public SELF_TYPE withFoo(int foo) {
* return this.foo == foo ? this : new SELF_TYPE(otherField1, otherField2, foo);
* }
*
*
* This annotation can also be applied to a class, in which case it'll be as if all non-static fields that don't already have
* a {@code Wither} annotation have the annotation.
