/**
 * Annotates a groovy property or a class.
 *
 * When annotating a property it indicates that the property should be a
 * constrained property according to the JavaBeans spec, subject to
 * listeners vetoing the property change.
 *
 * When annotating a class it indicates that all groovy properties in that
 * class should be bound as though each property had the annotation (even
 * if it already has it explicitly).
 *
 * It is a compilation error to place this annotation on a field (that is
 * nota property, i.e. has scope visibility modifiers).
 *
 * If a property with a user defined setter method is annotated the code
 * block is wrapped with the needed code to fire off the event.
 *
 * //TODO discuss generated fields and methods
