* Annotation use for configuring deserialization aspects, by attaching
* to "setter" methods or fields, or to value classes.
* When annotating value classes, configuration is used for instances
* of the value class but can be overridden by more specific annotations
* (ones that attach to methods or fields).
*
* An example annotation would be:
*
* @JsonDeserialize(using=MySerializer.class,
* as=MyHashMap.class,
* keyAs=MyHashKey.class,
* contentAs=MyHashValue.class
* )
*
*
* NOTE: since version 1.2, annotation has also been applicable
* to (constructor) parameters
*
* @since 1.1
