/**
* Class annotation that can be used to define which kinds of Methods
* are to be detected by auto-detection.
* Auto-detection means using name conventions
* and/or signature templates to find methods to use for data binding.
* For example, so-called "getters" can be auto-detected by looking for
* public member methods that return a value, do not take argument,
* and have prefix "get" in their name.
*
* Pseudo-value NONE means that all auto-detection is disabled
* for the specific class that annotation is applied to (including
* its super-types, but only when resolving that class).
* Pseudo-value ALWAYS means that auto-detection is enabled
* for all method types for the class in similar way.
*
* The default value is ALWAYS: that is, by default, auto-detection
* is enabled for all classes unless instructed otherwise.
*
* Starting with version 1.5, it is also possible to use more fine-grained
* definitions, to basically define minimum visibility level needed. Defaults
* are different for different types (getters need to be public; setters can
* have any access modifier, for example).
