@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.
