/**
 * <p>
 * Indicates that the annotated method should be invoked when an uncaught exception occurs in the client-side message
 * bus or an uncaught exception occurs in client code.
 *
 * <p>
 * Before the IOC container starts, an {@link ErraiUncaughtExceptionHandler} is set via
 * {@link GWT#setUncaughtExceptionHandler(com.google.gwt.core.client.GWT.UncaughtExceptionHandler)}, which dispatches to
 * all {@link UncaughtExceptionHandler} methods.
 *
 * <p>
 * The annotated method needs to have exactly one parameter of type {@link Throwable}.
 *
 * <p>
 * For {@link ApplicationScoped}, {@link EntryPoint}, and {@link Singleton} beans, the handler method is always called
 * on the same instance. An uncaught exception will force the creation of the bean instance if it has not already been
 * instantiated.
 *
 * <p>
 * For {@link Dependent} beans, only already existing instances will have their handler methods invoked. If multiple
 * instances exist for a type with a handler method, all instances will have their handler methods called. If none
 * exist, then no handler methods for that type will be called.
