/**
* Marks a method in a [Dao] annotated class as a delete method.
*
* The implementation of the method will delete its parameters from the database.
*
* All of the parameters of the Delete method must either be classes annotated with [Entity]
* or collections/array of it.
*
* Example:
* ```
* @Dao
* public interface MusicDao {
* @Delete
* public fun deleteSongs(vararg songs: Song)
*
* @Delete
* public fun deleteAlbumAndSongs(album: Album, songs: List<Song>)
* }
* ```
*
* If the target entity is specified via [entity] then the parameters can be of arbitrary
* POJO types that will be interpreted as partial entities. For example:
*
* ```
* @Entity
* data class Playlist (
* @PrimaryKey
* val playlistId: Long,
* val ownerId: Long,
* val name: String,
* @ColumnInfo(defaultValue = "normal")
* val category: String
* )
*
* data class OwnerIdAndCategory (
* val ownerId: Long,
* val category: String
* )
*
* @Dao
* public interface PlaylistDao {
* @Delete(entity = Playlist::class)
* fun deleteByOwnerIdAndCategory(varargs idCategory: OwnerIdAndCategory)
* }
* ```
