/*
 * State serialization annotation.
 * Works like @State, but methods can be annotated as well.
 * Consequently, state fields do not get reloaded automatically.
 * To use, specify desired scope and storage name:
 * <code>
 *    @LazyState(scope = Scope.PROJECT, name = "TheMeaningOfLife")
 *    public static void meaning() {
 *       return 42;
 *    }
 *</code>
