Interface AnnotationReplacer<T>

Type Parameters:
T - Annotation to replace
public interface AnnotationReplacer<T>
An interface that allows creating annotations that will get replaced by others.

This can be exceptionally powerful (and dangerous), as it can create dynamic annotations, whose values are not restricted by static, compile-time known ones.

It also allows building shortcut annotations, as well as configurable values inside annotations.

Register with CommandHandler.registerAnnotationReplacer(Class, AnnotationReplacer)
