| * The {@code Transient} annotation may be used |
| * in any of the methods that are involved |

| * to identify the transient feature in the annotated class and its subclasses. |
| * Normally, the method that starts with "get" is the best place |

| * that takes precedence in the case of multiple annotations |
| * being defined for the same feature. |

| * To declare a feature non-transient in a class |
| * whose superclass declares it transient, |
| * use {@code @Transient(false)}. |
| * In all cases, the {@link Introspector} decides |
| * if a feature is transient by referring to the annotation |
| * on the most specific superclass. |
| * If no {@code Transient} annotation is present |
| * in any superclass the feature is not transient. |
