/**
 * Class annotation that can be used to define which kinds of Methods
 * are to be detected by auto-detection, and with what minimum access level.
 * Auto-detection means using name conventions
 * and/or signature templates to find methods to use for data binding.
 * For example, so-called "getters" can be auto-detected by looking for
 * public member methods that return a value, do not take argument,
 * and have prefix "get" in their name.
 *
 * Default setting for all accessors is {@link Visibility#DEFAULT}, which 
 * in turn means that the global defaults are used. Defaults
 * are different for different accessor types (getters need to be public;
 * setters can have any access modifier, for example).
 * If you assign different {@link Visibility} type then it will override
 * global defaults: for example, to require that all setters must be public,
 * you would use:
 *
 *   @JsonAutoDetect(setterVisibility=Visibility.PUBLIC_ONLY)
 *
