Description

I want to provide a way to decorate annotation in order to express that they are bound to a handler.
This will be cleaner than relying on a naming convention (package name containing 'ipojo' or 'handler').

Along with this change, we can introduce a flag in our manipulator frontends to deactivate custom annotation processing (that's probably better than an @Ignore annotation)
