 * Default implementations for all methods implemented minimal
 * "do nothing" functionality, which is roughly equivalent to
 * not having a registered listener at all. This allows for
 * only implemented handler methods one is interested in, without
 * handling other cases.
 *<p>
 * NOTE: it is typically <b>NOT</b> acceptable to simply do nothing,
 * because this will result in unprocessed tokens being left in
 * token stream (read via {@link JsonParser}, in case a structured
 * (JSON Object or JSON Array) value is being pointed to by parser.
