Annotation Type Author

@Target(value=PARAMETER)
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
public @interface Author

The Author annotation is to define whether the parameter should be the author object from the event or parsed from the user's input.

Using this on a User/Member will fetch the author, while if not, it'll parse the input. The same happens with channels, guilds, and so on.
