/**
* Designates a {@link Storable} property as being the authoritative version
* number for the entire Storable instance. Only one property can have this
* designation.
*
* <p>Philosophically, a version property can be considered part of the
* identity of the storable. Unless the version is {@link Derived}, the
* repository is responsibile for establishing the version on insert, and for
* auto-incrementing it on update. Under no circumstances should a normal
* version property be incremented manually; this can result in a false {@link
* OptimisticLockException}, or worse may allow the persistent record to become
* corrupted.
*
* <p>When updating a storable which has a normal version property, a value for
* the version must be specified along with its primary key. Otherwise, an
* {@link IllegalStateException} is thrown when calling update. If the update
* operation detects that the specified version doesn't exactly match the
* version of the existing persisted storable, an {@link
* OptimisticLockException} is thrown. For {@link Derived} versions, an {@link
* OptimisticLockException} is thrown only if the update detects that the new
* version hasn't incremented.
*
* <p>The actual type of the version property can be anything, but some
* repositories might only support integers. For maximum portability, version
* properties should be a regular 32-bit int.
*
* <p>Example:<pre>
* public interface UserInfo extends Storable {
* <b>@Version</b>
* int getRecordVersionNumber();
* void setRecordVersionNumber(int version);
*
* ...
* }
* </pre>
