  @constructs Operation
  @description Handles HTTP requests for a specific method (e.g., "GET") to
  a specific {@link carbond.Endpoint} by assigning to a property
  on the endpoint that corresponds to that HTTP method (e.g.
  {@link carbond.Endpoint.get}). This can be instantiated
  explicitly in the context of an {@link carbond.Endpoint} or
  implicitly if just a handler method is provided. In the latter
  case, the operation object will be built and instantiated for
  you.
