/**
* Annotation used for indicating that values of annotated type
* or property should be serializing so that instances either
* contain additional object identifier (in addition actual object
* properties), or as a reference that consists of an object id
* that refers to a full serialization. In practice this is done
* by serializing the first instance as full object and object
* identity, and other references to the object as reference values.
*
* There are two main approaches to generating object identifier:
* either using a generator (either one of standard ones, or a custom
* generator), or using a value of a property. The latter case is
* indicated by using a placeholder generator marker
* {@link ObjectIdGenerators.PropertyGenerator}; former by using explicit generator.
* Object id has to be serialized as a property in case of POJOs;
* object identity is currently NOT support for JSON Array types
* (Java arrays or Lists) or Java Map types.
*
* Finally, note that generator type of {@link ObjectIdGenerators.None}
* indicates that no Object Id should be included or used: it is included
* to allow suppressing Object Ids using mix-in annotations.
*
* @since 2.0
