/**
 * This is the class that can be registered (via
 * {@link DeserializationConfig} object owner by
 * {@link ObjectMapper}) to get called when a potentially
 * recoverable problem is encountered during deserialization
 * process. Handlers can try to resolve the problem, throw
 * an exception or just skip the content.
 *
 * 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.
 *

 * NOTE: it is typically NOT acceptable to simply do nothing,
 * because this will result in unprocessed tokens being left in
 * token stream (read via {@link JsonParser}, in case a structured
 * (JSON Object or JSON Array) value is being pointed to by parser.

    /**
     * Method called when a JSON Map ("Object") entry with an unrecognized
     * name is encountered.
     * Content (supposedly) matching the property are accessible via
     * parser that can be obtained from passed deserialization context.
     * Handler can also choose to skip the content; if so, it MUST return
     * true to indicate it did handle property successfully.
     * Skipping is usually done like so:
     *
     *  jp.skipChildren();
     *
     *
     * Note: version 1.2 added new deserialization feature
     * (DeserializationConfig.DeserializationFeature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES).
     * It will only have effect after handler is called, and only
     * if handler did not handle the problem.
     *
     * @param beanOrClass Either bean instance being deserialized (if one
     *   has been instantiated so far); or Class that indicates type that
     *   will be instantiated (if no instantiation done yet: for example
     *   when bean uses non-default constructors)
     * @param jp Parser to use for handling problematic content
     * 
     * @return True if the problem is resolved (and content available used or skipped);
     *  false if the handler did not anything and the problem is unresolved. Note that in
     *  latter case caller will either throw an exception or explicitly skip the content,
     *  depending on configuration.
