019/**
020 * Marker for AOP proxy interfaces (in particular: introduction interfaces)
021 * that explicitly intend to return the raw target object (which would normally
022 * get replaced with the proxy object when returned from a method invocation).
023 *
024 * <p>Note that this is a marker interface in the style of {@link java.io.Serializable},
025 * semantically applying to a declared interface rather than to the full class
026 * of a concrete object. In other words, this marker applies to a particular
027 * interface only (typically an introduction interface that does not serve
028 * as the primary interface of an AOP proxy), and hence does not affect
029 * other interfaces that a concrete AOP proxy may implement.
