/**
 * Marker annotation that can be used to define a specific property 
 * to be a "fallback" container of all unknown entries when
 * deserializing Java objects from Json content.
 * It is similar to {@link javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlAnyElement}
 * in behavior; and can only be used to denote a single property
 * per type. Also, type itself has to be either a {@link java.util.Map}
 * or a Bean type.
 *
 * If used, all otherwise unmapped key-value pairs from Json Object
 * structs are added to the property (of type Map or bean).
