/**
 * The {@link AsyncRpc} annotation is used to annotate server-side implementations of RPCs that
 * trigger asynchronous events. This behaves generally the same as {@link Rpc}, but methods that are
 * annotated with {@link AsyncRpc} are expected to take the extra parameter which is the ID to use
 * when posting async events.
 *
 * <p>Sample Usage:
 *
 * <pre>{@code
 * {@literal @}AsyncRpc(description = "An example showing the usage of AsyncRpc")
 * public void doSomethingAsync(String callbackId, ...) {
 *     // start some async operation and post a Snippet Event object with the given callbackId.
 * }
 * }</pre>
 *
 * AsyncRpc methods can still return serializable values, which will be transported in the regular
 * return value field of the Rpc protocol.
