/**
 * 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.
