+/**
+ * JsOptional marks a parameter in a method as optional indicating that the argument can be omitted
+ * from the function call when called from JavaScript side.
+ *
+ * <p>Note that JsOptional can only be used in a JsConstructor, a JsMethod or a JsFunction method.
+ * An optional argument cannot precede a non-optional argument (a vararg is considered an
+ * optional argument).
+ *
+ * <p>This annotation is informational in the GWT compiler but other compilers or tools might use it
+ * for example to annotate types in the output JavaScript program.
