/**
 * A group defines a subset of constraints. Instead of
 * validating all constraints for a given object graph,
 * only a subset is validated depending on the group targeted.
 * 
 * Each constraint declaration defines the list of groups it belongs to.
 * If no group is explicitly declared, a constraint belongs to the
 * {@link javax.validation.groups.Default} group.
 * 

 * When applying validation, the list of target groups is passed along.
 * If no group is explicitly passed along, the
 * {@code javax.validation.groups.Default} group is used.
 * 
 * During cascading, groups can be converted from one to another by
 * the use of {@link javax.validation.groups.ConvertGroup}
