/**
* Abstract class that defines API used for introspecting annotation-based
* configuration for serialization and deserialization. Separated
* so that different sets of annotations can be supported, and support
* plugged-in dynamically.
*
* Although default implementations are based on using annotations as the only
* (or at least main) information source, custom implementations are not limited
* in such a way, and in fact there is no expectation they should be. So the name
* is bit of misnomer; this is a general configuration introspection facility.
*
* NOTE: due to rapid addition of new methods (and changes to existing methods),
* it is strongly recommended that custom implementations should not directly
* extend this class, but rather extend {@link NopAnnotationIntrospector}.
* This way added methods will not break backwards compatibility of custom annotation
* introspectors.
