/**
  * REST request form-data annotation.
 *
 * <p>
 * Identifies a POJO to be used as a form-data entry on an HTTP request.
 *
 * <p>
 * Can be used in the following locations:
 * <ul>
 *    <li>Arguments and argument-types of server-side <ja>@RestMethod</ja>-annotated methods.
 *    <li>Arguments and argument-types of client-side <ja>@RemoteResource</ja>-annotated interfaces.
 *    <li>Methods and return types of server-side and client-side <ja>@Request</ja>-annotated interfaces.
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h5 class='topic'>Arguments and argument-types of server-side @RestMethod-annotated methods</h5>
 *
 * Annotation that can be applied to a parameter of a <ja>@RestMethod</ja>-annotated method to identify it as a URL query parameter.
 *
 * <p>
 * Unlike {@link FormData @FormData}, using this annotation does not result in the servlet reading the contents of
 * URL-encoded form posts.
 * Therefore, this annotation can be used in conjunction with the {@link Body @Body} annotation or
 * <c>RestRequest.getBody()</c> method for <c>application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST</c> calls.
 *
 * <h5 class='section'>Example:</h5>
 * <p class='bcode w800'>
 *    <ja>@RestMethod</ja>(name=<jsf>GET</jsf>)
 *    <jk>public void</jk> doGet(
 *          <ja>@Query</ja>(<js>"p1"</js>) <jk>int</jk> p1,
 *          <ja>@Query</ja>(<js>"p2"</js>) String p2,
 *          <ja>@Query</ja>(<js>"p3"</js>) UUID p3
 *       ) {...}
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * This is functionally equivalent to the following code...
 * <p class='bcode w800'>
 *    <ja>@RestMethod</ja>(name=<jsf>GET</jsf>)
 *    <jk>public void</jk> doGet(RestRequest req, RestResponse res) {
 *       <jk>int</jk> p1 = req.getQueryParameter(<jk>int</jk>.<jk>class</jk>, <js>"p1"</js>, 0);
 *       String p2 = req.getQueryParameter(String.<jk>class</jk>, <js>"p2"</js>);
 *       UUID p3 = req.getQueryParameter(UUID.<jk>class</jk>, <js>"p3"</js>);
 *       ...
