026/**
027 * Container annotation that aggregates several {@link Sql @Sql} annotations.
028 *
029 * <p>Can be used natively, declaring several nested {@code @Sql} annotations.
030 * Can also be used in conjunction with Java 8's support for repeatable
031 * annotations, where {@code @Sql} can simply be declared several times on the
032 * same class or method, implicitly generating this container annotation.
033 *
034 * <p>This annotation may be used as a <em>meta-annotation</em> to create custom
035 * <em>composed annotations</em>.
