/**
 * <p>
 * Distinguishes the various kinds of transactional {@linkplain Observes observer methods} from regular
 * observer methods which are notified immediately.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Transactional observer methods are observer methods which receive event notifications during the before or after completion
 * phase of the transaction in which the event was fired. If no transaction is in progress when the event is fired, they are
 * notified at the same time as other observers.
 * If the transaction is in progress, but {@code jakarta.transaction.Synchronization} callback cannot be registered due to the transaction being already
 * marked for rollback or in state where {@code jakarta.transaction.Synchronization} callbacks cannot be registered, the {@link #BEFORE_COMPLETION},
 * {@link #AFTER_COMPLETION} and {@link #AFTER_FAILURE} observer methods are notified at the same time as other observers,
 * but {@link #AFTER_SUCCESS} observer methods get skipped.
