/**
* Use this annotation setters in an interface that derives from
* GraphObject, if you wish to provide a setter that takes a primitive data type (e.g., String)
* or a List of primitive data types, but actually populates its underlying property with a
* new GraphObject with a property equal to the specified value (or a List of such GraphObjects).
* This is useful for providing "helper" setters to avoid requiring callers to instantiate a GraphObject
* just to set a single property on it (e.g., 'url' or 'id').
*
* The String value provided to this annotation should be the name of the property that will be
* populated on the newly-created GraphObject using the value that was passed to the setter.
*
* This annotation has no effect if applied to a getter.
