027 * Dynamically applies a {@link BeanCtor @BeanCtor} annotation to specified constructors.

030 * This annotation separates the <b>targeting</b> concern ({@link #on()}/{@link #onClass()}) from the
031 * <b>content</b> concern ({@link #value()}), enabling {@link BeanCtor @BeanCtor} to be a pure data annotation
032 * without marshall-specific application machinery.
