/**
* Annotation use for configuring deserialization aspects, by attaching
* to "setter" methods or fields, or to value classes.
* When annotating value classes, configuration is used for instances
* of the value class but can be overridden by more specific annotations
* (ones that attach to methods or fields).
*
* An example annotation would be:
*
* @JsonDeserialize(using=MySerializer.class,
* as=MyHashMap.class,
* keyAs=MyHashKey.class,
* contentAs=MyHashValue.class
* )
*
*
* Something to note on usage:
*
* - All other annotations regarding behavior during building should be on Builder
* class and NOT on target POJO class: for example @JsonIgnoreProperties should be on
* Builder to prevent "unknown property" errors.
*
* - Similarly configuration overrides (see {@link org.testifyproject.testifyproject.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper#configOverride})
* should be targeted at Builder class, not target POJO class.
