 * Defines a display variant annotation object.

 * Display variants are used to dictate the output of a given Display, which
 * can be used to control the output of many parts of Drupal.
 *
 * Variants are usually chosen by some selection criteria, and are instantiated
 * directly. Each variant must define its own approach to rendering, and can
 * either load its own data or be injected with data from another Display
 * object.
