/**
 * Put on any field to make lombok build a standard getter.
 * 
 * Example:
 * <pre>
 *     private &#64;Getter int foo;
 * </pre>
 * 
 * will generate:
 * 
 * <pre>
 *     public int getFoo() {
 *         return this.foo;
 *     }
 * </pre>
 * 
 * Note that fields of type {@code boolean} (but not {@code java.lang.Boolean}) will result in an
 * {@code isFoo} name instead of {@code getFoo}.
 * <p>
 * If any method named {@code getFoo}/{@code isFoo} exists, regardless of return type or parameters, no method is generated,
 * and instead a compiler warning is emitted.
 * <p>
 * This annotation can also be applied to a class, in which case it'll be as if all non-static fields that don't already have
 * a {@code @Getter} annotation have the annotation.
