Annotation Interface Option.PrototypedBy

Enclosing class:
Option
@Target(METHOD) @Retention(CLASS) public static @interface Option.PrototypedBy
An option may return a type that is not under our control, yet we have a prototype that can be used to create it. Such a prototype can be referenced through this annotation, so we use it for builder consumer, to add a builder method with it as a parameter, and to use it in config method if it is configured.

IMPORTANT: the referenced prototype build method must return the type returned by this option
