/**
 * Annotates a "computed" property, which gets filled from a CQL expression in the SELECT query used
 * to retrieve an entity.
 *
 * Note that such properties are only filled by default mapper operations ({@link
 * Mapper#get(Object...)}), they will be ignored in accessor queries and save operations.
 *
 * 
As opposed to other mapper annotations, this one doesn't handle case sensitivity. If your
 * expression contains case-sensitive names, you'll need to quote them explicitly:
 *
 * 
 * {@code @Computed("\"caseSensitiveFunction\"(v)")}
