 * - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be compared in the

 * - when loading from annotations, the constructor accepts the metadata
 *   accessor this metadata was loaded from. Used it to look up any
 *   'companion' annotation needed for processing.
 * - methods should be preserved in alphabetical order.
