/**
 * When applied to a Stripes extension class (e.g., one that implements {@link Formatter},
 * {@link TypeConverter}, {@link AutoExceptionHandler}, etc.), this annotation indicates that the
 * class should not be loaded via autodiscovery. This is useful, for example, when you
 * have a {@link TypeConverter} that is applied in special cases via {@link Validate#converter()}
 * but should not be used for all the type conversions to which it applies.
