/**
 * Put on any field to make lombok build a 'with' - a withX method which produces a clone of this object (except for 1 field which gets a new value).
 * <p>
 * Complete documentation is found at <a href="https://projectlombok.org/features/With">the project lombok features page for &#64;With</a>.
 * <p>
 * Example:
 * <pre>
 *     private &#64;With final int foo;
 * </pre>
 * 
 * will generate:
 * 
 * <pre>
 *     public SELF_TYPE withFoo(int foo) {
 *         return this.foo == foo ? this : new SELF_TYPE(otherField1, otherField2, foo);
 *     }
 * </pre>
 * <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 With} annotation have the annotation.
