/**
 * Attribute for defining a class method as a hook implementation.
 *
 * Hook implementations in classes need to be marked with this attribute,
 * using one of the following techniques:
 * - On a method, use this attribute with the hook name:
 *   @code
 *   #[Hook('user_cancel')]
 *   public method userCancel(...)
 *   @endcode
 * - On a class, specifying the method name:
 *   @code
 *   #[Hook('user_cancel', method: 'userCancel')]
 *   class Hooks {
 *     method userCancel(...) {}
 *   }
 *   @endcode
 * - On a class with an __invoke method, which is taken to be the hook
 *   implementation:
 *   @code
 *   #[Hook('user_cancel')]
 *   class Hooks {
 *     method __invoke(...) {}
 *   }
 *   @endcode
 *
 * Ordering hook implementations can be done by implementing
 * hook_module_implements_alter.
 *
 * Classes that use this annotation on the class or on their methods are
 * automatically registered as autowired services with the class name as the
 * service ID. If autowire does not suffice, they can be registered manually as
 * well.
 *
 * Implementing a hook on behalf of another module can be done by by specifying
 * the 'module' parameter in the attribute.
 *
 * @section sec_multiple_implementations Multiple implementations
 *
 * Multiple implementations are allowed on multiple axes:
 * - One method can implement multiple hooks by adding a Hook attribute for each
 *   method.
 * - One module can implement a particular hook multiple times in multiple
 *   classes, although see below for some exceptions. This allows, for example,
 *   adding hook_form_alter() implementations firing on other conditions than
 *   form ID without modifying any existing implementations.
 *
 * The following hooks may not have multiple implementations by a single module:
 * - hook_library_build_info()
 * - hook_mail()
 * - hook_help()
 * - hook_node_update_index()
 *
 * @section sec_procedural Procedural hooks
 *
 * The following hooks can only have procedural hook implementations:
 *
 * Legacy meta hooks:
 * - hook_hook_info()
 * - hook_module_implements_alter()
 *
 * Install hooks:
 * - hook_install()
 * - hook_post_update_NAME()
 * - hook_schema()
 * - hook_uninstall()
 * - hook_update_last_removed()
 * - hook_update_N()
 *
 * Theme hooks:
 * - hook_preprocess_HOOK()
 * - hook_process_HOOK()
 *
 * @section sec_backwards_compatibility Backwards-compatibility
 *
 * To allow hook implementations to work on older versions of Drupal as well,
 * add both an attribute-based hook implementation and a procedural hook
 * implementation, with the \Drupal\Core\Hook\Attribute\LegacyHook attribute on
 * the procedural hook implementations.
 *
 * See \Drupal\Core\Hook\Attribute\LegacyHook for additional information.
