/**
 * Marker annotation that can be used to define a non-static,
 * single-argument method to be used as a "setter" for a logical property
 * as an alternative to recommended
 * {@link JsonProperty} annotation (which was introduced in version 1.1).
 *
 * Setter means that when a property with matching name is encountered in
 * JSON content, this method will be used to set value of the property.
 *
 * NOTE: this annotation was briefly deprecated for version 1.5; but has
 * since been un-deprecated to both allow for asymmetric naming (possibly
 * different name when reading and writing JSON), and more importantly to
 * allow multi-argument setter method in future.
