/**
* This annotation means the same thing as the <code>transient</code> keyword,
* but it is ignored by all serialization systems other than GWT's. Usually the
* <code>transient</code> keyword should be used in preference to this
* annotation. However, for types used with multiple serialization systems, it
* can be useful.
* <p>
* Note that GWT will actually accept any annotation named GwtTransient for this
* purpose. This is done to allow libraries to support GWT serialization without
* creating a direct dependency on the GWT distribution.
