/**
 * An annotation that configures a property to be used as storage for any extra BSON elements that are not already mapped to other
 * properties. All extra elements will be encoded from the BSON document into the annotated property, and encoded from the annotated
 * property into the BSON document.
 *
 * Can only be used on a single field in a POJO. Field must be a {@code Map} instance eg. {@code Document} or
 * {@code BsonDocument}.
 * 
For POJOs, requires the {@link org.bson.codecs.pojo.Conventions#ANNOTATION_CONVENTION}
 * For Java records, the annotation is not yet supported.
 *
 * @since 4.7
 * @see org.bson.codecs.pojo.Conventions#ANNOTATION_CONVENTION
