/**
*
* This annotation can be specified on step definition method parameters to give
* Cucumber a hint to transpose a DataTable.
*
* For example, if you have the following Gherkin step with a table
*
*
* Given the user is
* | firstname | Roberto |
* | lastname | Lo Giacco |
* | nationality | Italian |
*
*
* And a data table type to create a User
*
*
* {@code
* @DataTableType
* public User convert(Map entry){
* return new User(
* entry.get("firstname"),
* entry.get("lastname")
* entry.get("nationality")
* );
* }
* }
*
*
* Then the following Java Step Definition would convert that into an User
* object:
*
*
* @Given("^the user is$")
* public void the_user_is(@Transpose User user) {
* this.user = user;
* }
*
