/**
 * Annotates methods on model objects to expose them as CLI commands.
 *
 * <p>
 * You need to have <tt>Messages.properties</tt> in the same package with the
 * <tt>CLI.<i>command-name</i>.shortDescription</tt> key to describe the command.
 * This is used for the same purpose as {@link CLICommand#getShortDescription()}.
 *
 * <p>
 * If you put a {@link CLIMethod} on an instance method (as opposed to a static method),
 * you need a corresponding {@linkplain CLIResolver CLI resolver method}.
 *
 * <p>
 * A CLI method can have its parameters annotated with {@link Option} and {@link Argument},
 * to receive parameter/argument injections.
 *
 * <p>
 * A CLI method needs to be public.
