+To streamline usage of collation attributes throughout the codebase it is also possible to use the `@Collation` annotation, which serves as a meta annotation for the ones mentioned above.
+The same rules and locations apply, plus, direct usage of `@Collation` supersedes any collation values defined on `@Query` and other annotations.
+Which means, if a collation is declared via `@Query` and additionally via `@Collation`, then the one from `@Collation` is picked.
