 * This annotation can be added on constructors only and it's the equivalent of using "native" keyword on methods, i.e.
 * its code is not generated. This is because the "native" keyword cannot be used on constructor. It's useful when the
 * code already exists in JavaScript or when you want to overload the constructor.
