/**
 * Specifies the persistence operations that should cascade
 * to associated entity instances.
 * 
 * This annotation competes with the {@code cascade} member
 * of JPA association mapping annotations, for example, with
 * {@link jakarta.persistence.OneToMany#cascade()}. The only
 * good reason to use it over the standard JPA approach is
 * to enable {@linkplain CascadeType#LOCK lock cascading},
 * by writing, for example, {@code @Cascade(LOCK)}.
 * 
 * If an association specified cascade types using both the
 * JPA association mapping annotations and this annotation,
 * then the cascade types from the two sources are aggregated.
