 * {@link JsonAnySetter} method; basically being used like a
 * getter but such that contents of the returned Map (type <b>must</b> be
 * {@link java.util.Map}) are serialized as if they were actual properties
 * of the bean that contains method/field with this annotations.
 * As with {@link JsonAnySetter}, only one property should be annotated
 * with this annotation.
