/**
* Annotation that marks a method as a candidate for <i>asynchronous</i> execution.
* Can also be used at the type level, in which case all of the type's methods are
* considered as asynchronous.
*
* <p>In terms of target method signatures, any parameter types are supported.
* However, the return type is constrained to either {@code void} or
* {@link java.util.concurrent.Future}. In the latter case, the {@code Future} handle
* returned from the proxy will be an actual asynchronous {@code Future} that can be used
* to track the result of the asynchronous method execution. However, since the
* target method needs to implement the same signature, it will have to return
* a temporary {@code Future} handle that just passes the return value through: e.g.
* Spring's {@link AsyncResult} or EJB 3.1's {@link javax.ejb.AsyncResult}.
