/**
 * This is the class that can be registered (via
 * {@link DeserializationConfig} object owner by
 * {@link ObjectMapper}) to get calledn when a potentially
 * recoverable problem is encountered during deserialization
 * process. Handlers can try to resolve the problem, throw
 * an exception or do nothing.
 *
 * Default implementations for all methods implemented minimal
 * "do nothing" functionality, which is roughly equivalent to
 * not having a registered listener at all. This allows for
 * only implemented handler methods one is interested in, without
 * handling other cases.
