/**
* Annotates the field should be 'wide' in the UI, spanning all columns in a multi-column layout.
*
* UiWide is different to UiLarge, because 'large' implies a data size (ie. BLOB or CLOB) whereas
* 'wide' refers purely to spanning columns. Generally all 'large' fields are implicitly 'wide', but
* not all 'wide' fields are 'large'. For example, you may want a normal text field (not a textarea)
* to span all columns.
