/**
* Annotates the field should be preceding by a section heading.
*
* The 'camel-cased' version of the section name will first be looked up in any relevant UI
* ResourceBundle. If no match is found, the section name will be output 'as is'.
*
* Once a section heading has been declared, subsequent fields are assumed to belong to the same
* section until a different section heading is encountered. Sections can be cancelled using a
* section heading with an empty String. Sections can be nested by specifying multiple section
* names.
